This contemporary 1,500 sq ft pool house and gym, clad entirely in bronze panels, was completed in August 2016.
The materiality of the building is central to its architectural expression. The bronze façade begins with a warm, reddish-brown tone, which evolves naturally through weathering. Over time, surface oxidation introduces brown-red hues with subtle grey undertones, gradually deepening to a rich, dark anthracite, allowing the building to change character as it
ages.
The façade detailing was developed in close collaboration with the bronze supplier, with particular attention given to the articulation of panel joints, openings, and corner conditions. This careful coordination ensured a refined and robust envelope, reinforcing the building’s sculptural quality and longevity.
