Pool House

This colorful, playful pool house is designed for effortless entertaining and relaxed living with eye-catching bold colors. Finished in Little Greene’s Trumpet, the vibrant cabinetry brings a bold, cheerful energy to the space. The frameless build method with sleek slab doors keeps the look clean and modern.

A pass-through window connects the indoor space to the outdoor grill area—ideal for serving drinks, snacks, or fresh-off-the-grill bites. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful details like an apron-front sink, floating shelves, and a double trash pullout for easy cleanup.

With walk-out access to the poolside lounge area, this pool house blends function and fun into one bright, inviting escape.

The Office

The Study – Luxury Office Space

This custom-built study showcases a seamless blend of style and function, painted in Farrow & Ball’s Trust Green for a rich, sophisticated finish. The cabinetry features inset construction with wire mesh door inserts on our custom “Shelby” door, adding texture and depth to the design.

The 12” hidden door is a standout feature, cleverly concealed within the right bookcase and operated by a book latch opening, creating a whimsical and functional passage.

Inside the beverage area, three floating shelves crafted from quarter-sawn white oak (QSWO) and finished in Rubio Monocoat Gris Beige are illuminated with warm LED under-cabinet lighting and puck lights above, perfect for highlighting curated barware and decor.

This design seamlessly merges traditional craftsmanship with modern flair, offering a sophisticated solution for stylish storage and secret spaces.
