A Jonathan Wagner–designed pool house incorporates local fieldstone and a cantilevered roof punctuated with holes that create moving patterns of sunlight and shade. Pool is by Haggerty Pools.
A covered dining area features an Allegro Classics table made of stainless steel and frosted glass surrounded by Brown Jordan chairs, custom colored to reflect the orange hue within the kitchen.
Weston-based architect Jonathan Wagner was careful about establishing proportions, particularly in keeping the dwelling’s expanse of glass the same width as that of the pool.
The kitchen area is sheathed in a gray-coated zinc; a skylight above bathes the room in natural light.
A bench made of stone and concrete circles around an Eldorado Stone fire bowl.
In the kitchen, Zoffany wallpaper complements the slate-colored glass countertop from Leicht. The orange hue of the skylights adds a dash of drama.
Wagner created a series of fieldstone walls that overlap. They establish outdoors spaces, visually expand the envelope of the poolhouse, and foster privacy. A window in the living area takes in views of the property.
A slate fireplace surround complements the 9-inch-thick, 10-foot granite hearthstone and sculptural granite corner stone, both found by Wagner at Connecticut stone quarries.
In keeping with the clients’ love of entertaining, a built-in bar area was installed against a fieldstone wall.
Custom cubes in the living room were built by Naula Workshop under the direction of interior designer Robin McGarry. Lamp is from Design Within Reach. Sofas made by Custom Upholstery are covered in a DeLany & Long fabric; pillow fabric is from Duralee.
