由BarlisWedlick设计的2,750平方英尺的Lazy Bear Poolhouse位于卡茨基尔山脉的一个115英亩的庄园中。泳池屋是对传统乡村建筑的现代演绎，它容纳了一个54英尺长的游泳池，是庄园主房的延伸，可以通过部分地下的通道进入。

The 2,750 sq ft Lazy Bear Poolhouse by BarlisWedlick is located on a 115-acre estate in the Catskill Mountains. A modern twist on traditional rustic architecture, the pool house – which houses a 54-foot-long pool – is an extension of the property’s main house accessible by a passageway constructed partially underground.

按照被动式房屋的原则建造的，这个比生命还大的游泳池房屋的特点是沿着游泳池的西侧建造了18英尺高的三层玻璃窗，以最大限度地利用阳光。地下通道也允许密闭进入，这创造了一个全年88度的室内温度。

Built with Passive House principles, the larger-than-life pool house features 18-foot-tall triple-glazed windows constructed along the pool’s west side to maximize sunlight. The underground passageway also allows an airtight entry, which creates an 88-degree indoor temperature all year round.

从天花板上的通风可以防止玻璃在温暖的气候下起雾。BarlisWedlick有意将泳池屋设计成与主屋不同的建筑风格，并指出由于其独特的尺寸，匹配的风格会影响其比例。

Ventilation from the ceiling prevents the glass from fogging up from the warm climate. BarlisWedlick intentionally designed the pool house in a different architectural style than the main house, noting that because of its unique size, a matching style would have compromised its proportions.

随着时间的推移，这个农业风格的结构采用了立缝式坡屋顶和双色调的板条护墙板，看起来会比主屋更 “老”。四根树干柱子贯穿泳池的长度，固定了该结构以自然为中心的外观，而白桦木原木则覆盖了墙壁。树叶图案的保罗-弗兰克尔（Paul Frankl）软体沙发和森林风格的墙纸进一步增加了建筑的热带逃避现实的感觉。

Over time, the agricultural-style structure with a standing-seam gabled roof and two-toned board-and-batten siding will appear to look ‘older’ than the main house. Four tree-trunk columns run the length of the pool anchoring the structure’s nature-centric look, while white birch logs cover the walls. A leaf-patterned Paul Frankl upholstered sofa and forest-inspired wallpaper further add to the building’s feel of tropical escapism.
