Architecture studio Knox Bhavan designs a new grassy mold that perfectly conceals a brick pool house to be 'virtually invisible.' It is located in a Georgian home in Kent and meets the client's requirements of creating an unobstructed design. The studio used the existing slope on the properly and wall to blend the building together.
The pool house is by the paved section of the home that circles around the swimming pool with a brick frontage that is able to create a sheltered seating area. Knox Bhavan explains the section as "Beginning in a sweeping helix-like curve alongside the York stone path, the brick spine then 'unzips', with one side climbing to hold back the earth and the other responding to the swimming pool and forming its low frontage."
