San Marino Pool House
This project converts compact poolside utility and sleeping quarters into a guest suite with a boutique hotel feel.
The poolside entry room provides a comfortable place to enjoy a cold drink or snack, with custom cabinetry concealing the laundry facilities for the main house, a compact refrigerator/freezer and a microwave oven.
The cabinetry also provides ample storage for towels, sunscreen, after-sun moisturizers and the occasionally required aloe gels and solarcaine.
An open-plan bedroom, bathroom and dressing area serve as the quarters for South Beach guests. A transparent glass shower, with a recessed illuminated showerhead, faces onto the bedroom. It’s not always sunny at the beach, after all.
