Bowie Gridley Architects designed this new poolhouse as the focal point of back yard re-design for a stately house in Bethesda, Maryland.

• The poolhouse features changing rooms and a main living space with kitchenette for parties or overnight guests
• A central skylight lends a dramatic effect to the main living area
• The wood and stone building  nestled within a steeply sloping site fits harmoniously with new stone terraces and retaining walls
• An upper terrace next to the poolhouse overlooks the pool from above
• Landscape lighting turns the terraces into outdoor rooms at night
