Pool House

West London

This sophisticated pool house, within the grounds of our Grade II listed Victorian Townhouse restoration, features carefully selected materials and detailing that respect the context of the main residence. The space provides elegant leisure facilities seamlessly integrated into the Thames-side garden landscape.

Working in close collaboration with advanced structural engineers, cutting-edge foundation systems address the complex ground conditions inherent to Thames-side properties. This innovative engineering approach tackled many complexities all while navigating the significant spatial restrictions characteristic of Chiswick riverside plots. These engineering solutions enabled the creation of a basement level that allows the pool house to nestle naturally into the garden landscape.

Extensive glazing creates light-filled interior spaces that connect to the outdoor environment, while Herefordshire timber brings exceptional warmth and natural materiality throughout. This carefully selected British timber adds distinctive character and craftsmanship to the contemporary design. The result exemplifies Labatt Construction’s ability to deliver the technically complex and architecturally sophisticated new-build structures.
