Surrounded by beautiful woodlands, this spectacular pavilion was designed by Robert M. Gurney as a continuation of the manicured gardens surrounding a contemporary house accompanied by mature trees. The Nevis Pool and Garden Pavilion is part of a suburban residential plot in Washington.DC, and complements the new swimming pool, minimalist terrace and tall rising trees. Composing a contemporary display, the pavilion was designed to be used all year round. In collaboration with the pathways and manicured garden, the semi-transparent structure composes a splendid garden, using the woodland as background.
The dry-stacked slate wall and mahogany volume are topped off with a stainless steel roof. In between, five steel-framed glass doors accompany glass walls in a successful effort to create a seamless transition between interior spaces and the exterior. Heated floors and a Rumford fireplace keep comfortable spaces during colder periods, so owners can enjoy the benefits of all seasons surrounded by a splendid landscape.
