Summer House

Concept - Summer House

A slightly more masculine feel was required for the spaces in the summer house

Plan - Summer House

The Bar/Smoking Room was to be situated over the swimming pool in the basement. My proposal was to include glass flooring here in order to let light down into the basement. This in turn, led to researching air conditioning for the basement!
