Yarralumla Pool Pavilion

by Redgen Mathieson

The Yarralumla Pool Pavilion by Redgen Mathieson adds a new level of luxury to a contemporary Canberra home.

Located in Yarralumla, Canberra, the clients purchased the adjoining property to their existing contemporary residence to accommodate a tennis court, indoor swimming pool and guest accommodation.

A new simple, single level off-form concrete structure houses the heated pool, shower facilities, a kitchenette and a sitting area with a fireplace. Sliding glass doors open to the east and west from the indoor pool and the sitting room, with timber screens providing sun control to the west.
