Pool house with shower: a practical and aesthetic solution by Akena
The idea of owning a house with a swimming pool is an attractive one these days. But have you thought about adding a pool house? Or even better, a pool house with a shower ? Whether it's to cool off after a swim or to provide a space to change clothes, a pool house equipped with a shower offers a multitude of practical uses as well as adding a touch of elegance to your property.
The pool house with shower
A pool house with shower is a structure located near the swimming pool, equipped with a shower. It can be used as a changing room, a storage area for pool equipment, a guest bathroom or a relaxation area. Equipped with a shower, you can rinse off after a swim or cool off on a hot summer's day. What's more, fitting a shower contributes not only to the functionality of the pool house but also to its aesthetic appeal. Incorporating a shower into your pool house offers a number of advantages. Often equipped with a toilet, the pool house also becomes a welcoming place for your guests during outdoor parties. Finally, having this extra convenience increases the value of your property.
Fitting out the aquatic relaxation area
The choice of shower depends mainly on your personal preferences and the space available in your pool house. You can opt for a simple tiled shower enclosure, which offers a classic look, or a solar shower, which uses solar energy to heat the water. The important thing is to choose a shower that is consistent with the overall design of your pool house to create a harmonious look.
The ambience of your pool house with shower is just as important as its functionality. To create a relaxing atmosphere, choose warm, natural materials such as stone or wood. The installation of soft lighting or the choice of surrounding plants can also help to create a feeling of serenity. For a touch of luxury, why not add a sauna or hammam to your pool house?
In addition to the shower, offering conveniences such as WCs in your pool house has many advantages. It allows you to make the most of your time at the pool without having to go back into the house all the time. Guests will appreciate this autonomy and the possibility of changing in a dedicated area, in complete privacy.
The different types of showers for a relaxation shelter
The solar shower: an ecological and water-saving solution
A solar shower for your pool house could be a wise choice. This environmentally-friendly option uses solar energy to heat the water in the shower, saving you money on your energy bills. What's more, they're generally easy to install and very durable.
The traditional shower for maximum comfort
For those who prefer comfort, a traditional shower may be the right choice. The adjustable flow rate and water temperature, combined with a large water surface area, will give you moments of intense relaxation. However, this type of shower does require a connection to the mains water supply, which can increase installation costs.
Integrating the pool house with shower into your outdoor space
Matching your pool house to the rest of your garden
The location and style of your pool house must be in harmony with the rest of your outdoor space. You should consider its position in relation to the house, the pool and the surrounding landscaped areas. Maintain continuity of style and materials with other existing structures to create a harmonious whole.
Optimising space: how do you arrange your enclosure?
The dimensions of your pool house depend mainly on the space available in your garden, the size of your pool and how you want to use it. You need to allow enough space for the shower, but also for storage, to move around and change clothes comfortably, and if you wish, to install sanitary facilities or a small kitchen area.
Cost of a pool house with shower
The cost of a pool house with shower depends on several factors, the main ones being the size of the pool house, the materials used, the type of shower installed and the interior fittings. To get an accurate estimate of the cost of your project, we advise you to request a free quote from Akena.
