Each lap is multi-experiential, and the Cabana’s open interior becomes a world of water, sunlight (penetrating through skylights), shadows and swirling reflections from the pool. The client’s frequent entertaining dictated a design specific yet flexible for many type events.

A Sun Room designed to precise traditional standards fulfills a need for weekend and holiday gathering space for their large family (enclosed, conditioned space). The need for frequent, highly-attended entertainment space dictated the large patio (uncovered seating) and Cabana (unenclosed, covered) that also accommodates any environmental condition.

White tones and smooth surfaces reinforce the combination of water, sun and shadow by increasing brightness and acting as a pure surface for reflected light from the pool. Venetian plaster, limestone decking and Carrara marble are carefully mixed to vary texture, sheen and reflection.
