Provencal pool house: gentle relaxation under the sun

Like a Provencal villa, the pool house is clad in tiles and has a rather traditional shape. Its colours, ranging from ochre to beige, are reminiscent of the gentle rays of the sun: a perfect way to let yourself be carried away all summer long. Would you like to build a Provençal pool house worthy of the name and give your garden a complete makeover? We'll show you how!

The pool house is a true extension of the house. Placed in the heart of your garden, more or less close to your pond or swimming pool, it offers a covered space completely independent of the house, designed to be occupied in summer. Add a touch of Provence to the mix, and you've got yourself a miniature Provencal farmhouse, complete with outdoor living room, spa and summer kitchen!

Installing a real fitness centre on your terrace is the perfect place to get healthy. On the wellbeing side, set up a balneotherapy area with a spa or jacuzzi, a suspended moment conducive to relaxation and recuperation.

3 tips for a Provence-style exterior

Want to push the provencal style just a little bit further? Certain details can easily make all the difference!

  • Plant typical Mediterranean species: olive trees, thyme, laurel, lavender and strawberry trees!
  • Use natural materials: low stone walls, stone paving or gravel are typical of Provence.
  • Make sure there's plenty of shade: a few colourful curtains or an arbour adorned with climbing plants will go a long way!

 

It's all up to you!

All your questions about the Provencal pool house

What are the construction features of a Provence pool house?

The characteristics of the Provencal pool house are generally the same as those of the Provencal farmhouse, a typical home in the region. Are you planning to build your own pool house? If so, here are a few features of Provencal architecture to keep in mind:

  • South-facing, for maximum natural light (make sure you install blinds).
  • A covered terrace, with or without columns. This terrace is generally made of stone, to resemble the walls of the pool house. It can be directly connected to your pool deck for maximum convenience!
  • A floor in travertine, a pretty rock with an orange hue.
  • Great summer colours!
  • For a typical Provencal pool house, why not add an open fireplace (useful in the off-season) or a pizza oven.
