Pool House | By Icrave

This spectacular pool house was commissioned by a home owner who wanted to transform the outdoor area at his house into a contemporary pool and spa retreat, ideal for entertaining in the hot summer months. The weekend retreat is located in the Hamptons, and was idealized by design studio ICRAVE, the result is a modern wood and steel structure with two separate spaces, creating a luxurious indoor/outdoor oasis. It features a bedroom, and a spa that includes a sauna, shower, and hammam. A sunken level between the two rooms creates a cozy living room, with fireplace, and a Jacuzzi, making this the perfect entertainment area.
