Matching the existing residence architectural design style is important when it comes to home additions. These Ladue, Missouri homeowners wanted a pool house that matched their New Traditional French design home for entertaining large numbers, but also to double as a guest house for out-of-town family to stay in regularly. Beyond the design, there were a few other challenges to overcome regarding the structure’s size requirements and available site layout. The pool house adapts the same stucco exterior elements and provides an additional 1,362 sf of living space, 795 sf of outdoor living space and 212 sf for the equipment room and pool storage. The massive outdoor kitchen and living room is covered by a striking vaulted ceiling and offers clear views of the stone fireplace or pool deck from any angle.
