Hut makers Plankbridge from Dorset, England, have added a 14 feet by 7.8 foot Pool House to their expanding collection of wellness huts, to provide a splash of style to poolside settings.
Designed to the proportions of the traditional Victorian shepherd’s hut with its familiar wriggly tin exterior and cast-iron wheels, the Pool House features twin changing cubicles for privacy; ensuite shower room with hand basin, WC and heated towel rail; and undercounter fridge for storing cold drinks and ice cream. Sustainable Thermafleece sheep’s wool from the Lake District maintains a cool temperature even on the hottest day.
As with all Plankbridge designs, the Pool House is built entirely by hand in the company’s Dorset workshop, crafted from the finest sustainable materials to stand the test of time. Sturdy cast iron wheels ensure easy maneuverability and its timeless appeal means the Pool House looks equally at home beside the azure waters of a Cotswolds swimming pond as it does by a Californian pool.
“Following the successful launch of the Sauna Snug and Garden Privy at Chelsea Flower Show, as well as growing demand for bespoke treatment huts, our team has come up with a beautiful new ‘wellness in the garden’ design that ticks all the boxes for owners of swimming pools, swimming ponds and natural pools,” says Plankbridge co-founder, Richard Lee.
“Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to ensure that family and guests have everything they need away from the house – a quiet, beautifully crafted space to change and stow away belongings, take a shower and cool off with a cold drink after a day by the pool.”
