A “cathedral-like” timber ceiling shelters this pool home, which British studio Klas Hyllén Structure has added to an current Arts and Crafts-style residence in Warwickshire.
Malvern Pool Home contains two volumes – one containing a swimming pool and the opposite altering services, a meditation house and a wine cellar. They’re related to one another and to the prevailing Nineteen Eighties residence by glazed hyperlinks.
The volumes have curved edges and buff-brick exteriors, chosen to respect the unique residence and the encompassing panorama, whereas their interiors are pared-back and “virtually monastic”.
Above the swimming pool, a diagrid ceiling of whitewashed timber – described by the studio as “cathedral-like” – is lower by a slim skylight, meant for gazing on the sky and stars whereas laying within the water.
“We wished it to really feel virtually monastic, and inspiration got here from fairly austere areas such because the Sankt Petri Church in Klippan, Sweden by Lewerentz or the Bishop Edward King Chapel by Niall McLaughlin,” studio founder Klas Hyllén advised Dezeen.
“It is about all of the senses, acoustics, temperature, tactility and the odor of water on brick, which supplies off this very nice mineral scent,” he added.
“Essentially the most important second might be floating in your again whereas taking within the beautiful timber. It is backstroke solely right here as you stargaze into the cosmos for a spot of night time swimming.”

By casting Malvern Pool Home’s companies straight into the structural partitions themselves, the water can prolong to the very edges of the inside, the place a big panoramic window supplies views over the panorama.
The roof construction integrates an air dealing with system that maintains a temperature of round 29 levels centigrade, whereas thick insulation within the roof and partitions helps to mitigate warmth loss.
“We met with six specialist pool contractors who all stated we could not use the principle construction because the pool partitions – all of them wished us to construct the pool ‘inside’ the pool and have a void beneath the ground for companies,” Hyttén defined.
“It is because of the collaboration between the design crew, the positioning supervisor and the no-compromise angle of the consumer that we managed to attain a pool which is fully contained inside the outer partitions of the constructing itself,” he added.
A glazed bridge connects the pool to the ancillary services, that are partially lined in black timber, whereas a glazed hall connects to the house itself.
Initially from Sweden, Klas Hyllén based his eponymous studio within the UK in 2013.
