The Pool House Where Indoor Comfort Meets Outdoor Living
The goal of The Pool House was to create a destination where indoor comfort meets outdoor living in perfect harmony. In a close partnership with DeLaurentis Developments, this project was designed to be a seamless extension of the surrounding landscape, blurring the lines between a sophisticated interior and the poolside patio. Featuring a full kitchen, a pass-through servery window, and ample functional storage, every detail of our custom cabinetry was crafted to make outdoor living and entertaining effortless.
DeLaurentis Developments showcased their expertise in turning the vision into reality, managing the project with precision and ensuring that every detail was executed to perfection. The collaboration resulted in a pool house that stands as a beautiful and functional retreat, ideal for relaxation and entertaining during warm summer days.

Outdoor Luxury Living
The core philosophy of the design was to effectively blur the lines between the interior and the exterior, creating a structure that felt less like a separate building and more like a covered, open-air extension of the pool deck itself. This was achieved through a careful selection of materials and architectural elements designed to promote a sense of flow and harmony. Expansive glass doors retract completely, merging the interior lounge with the sun-drenched patio. The natural stone flooring selected for the pool surround continues seamlessly into the pool house, creating an uninterrupted visual plane. Overhead, warm cedar planks on the vaulted ceiling echo the tones of the surrounding trees, further reinforcing the connection to the natural environment. The goal was to craft a space that offered shelter and modern amenities without ever sacrificing the feeling of being outdoors, a place where barefoot comfort meets sophisticated design.
A key element in achieving this seamless indoor-outdoor connection is the innovative pass-through window situated directly above the kitchen sink. Designed to retract completely, this large servery window erases the boundary between the interior kitchen and the exterior patio, transforming the countertop into a fluid, dual-sided bar. This thoughtful feature is the epitome of effortless entertaining; it allows food and drinks to be passed directly to guests seated on stools outside, creating a dynamic social hub. Hosts are no longer separated from the party, and guests can enjoy the convenience of the full bar without ever stepping inside. Our custom cabinetry was meticulously designed to support this functionality, with the durable stone countertop extending uninterrupted from the interior sink area to the exterior bar seating. The strategic placement of the beverage refrigerator and glassware storage directly below ensures that everything needed for hosting is right at the host’s fingertips, perfectly positioned for serving through the open window.
A project of this caliber and complexity is only possible through a true partnership built on communication and a shared commitment to excellence. The synergy between the Sharpline Cabinetry design team and the DeLaurentis Developments construction crew was evident at every stage. Our detailed shop drawings were coordinated precisely with their building plans, ensuring that every electrical and plumbing rough-in was perfectly placed for the custom cabinetry. This seamless integration allowed for an efficient workflow and eliminated the guesswork that can often lead to delays and compromises. This successful collaboration is a testament to our shared dedication to delivering a flawless final product for discerning Fairfield County clients, where every detail is considered and every expectation is exceeded.
Ultimately, this pool house is more than just a beautiful structure; it is a destination. It is a hub for family gatherings, a tranquil escape for quiet afternoons, and the perfect backdrop for creating lasting summer memories. It represents the pinnacle of outdoor living, where the luxury of modern amenities and the beauty of the natural world coexist in perfect harmony. This project stands as a proud example of how thoughtful design and expert local craftsmanship can profoundly enhance a homeowner's lifestyle.
