The pool pavilion was conceived as a new outbuilding to complement the existing structures. This project contributes to an existing ensemble of a main house and several outbuildings. Formal design cues were derived from a variety of sources; the existing New England shingle style main house, a Caribbean hut, and the ubiquitous Connecticut tobacco barn. The construction of the pool pavilion was a true collaboration between the owners-- a real estate developer and textile conservator, the architect and the contractor.
