In the tranquil village of Schepfau, Austria, the Pool House stands as a testament to small-scale wellbeing architecture. Designed by Simon Moosbrugger Architekt, this swimming pool system seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Embracing Geometric Precision
The Pool House docks onto an existing carport with geometric precision, adopting its construction grid to create a harmonious architectural composition. Galvanized steel supports rhythmically punctuate the facade, adding visual interest while maintaining structural integrity. A delicate privacy screen, crafted from standing and lying wooden slats, allows cool ambient air to flow through while providing a sense of seclusion. Textile curtains further enhance privacy, enclosing the outdoor courtyard space adjacent to the house.
Serene Simplicity Amidst Nature
Set against the backdrop of the picturesque mountain landscape, the Pool House exudes simplicity and elegance. Its elongated form contrasts with the rugged terrain, creating a dialogue between built and natural environments. The meticulous craftsmanship of each component reflects a commitment to quality and durability, establishing a connection with the surrounding landscape. The vibrant blue of the pool water harmonizes with the verdant greenery of the forests and meadows, while the weathered wood facade gradually blends with the earthy tones of metal and textiles, mirroring the ephemeral beauty of nature.
Tranquil Retreat and Nighttime Splendor
Within the courtyard, obscured views of surrounding buildings give way to panoramic vistas of the Bregenzerwald mountain range. As daylight fades, the night sky, relatively free from light pollution, reveals its celestial wonders. A covered seating area provides a shaded retreat for communal relaxation, inviting residents to unwind amidst the serene ambiance. Beneath the wooden grate, integrated technical systems ensure pristine water quality, sourced from pure spring water, creating an oasis of tranquility in the heart of Schepfau.
In conclusion, the Pool House in Schepfau exemplifies the seamless integration of architecture with natural surroundings, offering a sanctuary of serenity and wellbeing amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Austria.
