Pool Bath_House
+ Mechanical
Portola Valley, CA
A Pool Bath House is incorporated into the landscape as a low wall. Keeping the visual impact to a minimum, the bath house is built into the ground behind low stone walls. The walls become a frame upon which the shower and sink are attached. The toilet structure becomes a body wrapped within its own skin. A dependent relationship between wall and element becomes analogous to that of a living organism. The toilet enclosure and sink are fabricated in patined silicon bronze. A mechanical enclosure, also sunk from view and in silicon bronze, completes the plan.
