NEIL HAUCK ARCHITECTS
N
eil Hauck needed to design a multifunctional building that could serve as a pool house, two-bedroom guest house and garage. Located adjacent to the clients’ main residence on a ten-acre property in a rural section of the Rhode Island coast, the building needed to provide entertaining spaces as well as access to the pool, spa and pool terrace. Exterior materials were carefully chosen in response to the site’s direct exposure to the severe coastal environment, and local zoning regulations required creative ways to break down the building’s massing and scale to meet height restrictions. Inside, a sitting area and eat-in kitchen are housed within a vaulted enclosure for an open, airy feel, and the outdoor covered porch provides an escape from the sun but not from lovely sea breezes or ocean views. The language and detailing of the pool house are intentionally understated as a counterpoint to the natural beauty of the site.
