Pool Houses
A pool house (sometimes known as a cabana, summer kitchen or guest cottage) is an adaptable structure located near a swimming pool that can serve many different functions. Some designs provide changing areas and shower stations while more elaborate versions provide seating areas, bar/grill stations or even full home theaters or yoga studios.
Pool houses serve a dual purpose: they provide swimmers with a dedicated space in which to change and store pool gear without tracking water into their home, which eliminates having to shuffle through wet towels and swimsuits in bare feet – something both guests and homeowners find unpleasant and annoying.
Homeowners also utilize their pool houses to host poolside parties and gatherings.
