Aegean Pool House

Located in East Texas, Aegean Pool House is sited on a hilltop overlooking a peaceful lake, surrounded by densely shaded pine forest. This weekend home is designed as an escape from urban life and emphasizes strong connections to nature and a sense of place. A key design feature was to encourage engagement with the outdoors by creating outdoor program elements, specifically the primary living spaces including dining and kitchen.

The outdoor dining table playfully converts to a ping pong table, and a freestanding stone fireplace anchors the west side of this open area. A dramatic 80-foot long pool and spa runs beyond the building along the north edge, as the site slopes down to the lake. A built-in fire pit and sunken lounge seating offer a comfortable area to sit fireside.
