Threefold Architects has completed a simple brick pool house with an outdoor fireplace, and a matching gym, at either end of a London garden.
The studio, which is based in Camden, added the new swimming pool to the rear of a property, along with the two buildings containing changing facilities and a gym.

The buildings are positioned at either end of the house's garden and are connected by a stone path running along the northern boundary of the site.
"At one end the gym pavilion is anchored to the existing house creating a 'cloistered' relationship with a new southwest-facing terrace," Threefold Architects said.
"Opposite, the second pavilion echoes the horizontality of the pool, running counter to the towering mature trees that it nestles beneath."
The changing-room building was designed to allow users to remain sheltered from the rain when entering the pool, and both structures complement the existing property's form and materiality.
"Influenced by the construction of the original house, the design proposed two simple brick buildings with a shared architectural language," explained the architecture studio, adding that the pavilions were conceived as "spaces for contemplation and relaxation".

The brick structures are topped with flat, zinc-covered roofs, and incorporate large glazed surfaces that provide a visual connection with the terrace and surrounding garden.

Masonry walls enclose the private areas and support the zinc roof...
