Polynesian Pool House

Westwood, Massachusetts
Polynesian Pool House

Description

The heavy timber frame and wood structure supports a modified gabled roof; the peak is pulled off-center so that the pool house subtly connects with the geometry of the barn on the property. Red cedar was used throughout, creating rich, warm hues from exposed beams, custom doors and millwork.
