The design studio Resolution: 4 Architecture (Res4) from New York has completed work on the project of Connecticut Pool House. This unusual villa with an area of 832 square foot is the perfect country house. Connecticut Pool House is located in Sharon, Connecticut, USA. In one part of the residence there is a bedroom, in the other - living area with kitchen. The residence also features sauna, laundry room, pantry and even and a heat-generating fireplace. However, perhaps the most interesting elements are sliding doors, which not only provide ventilation, are an excellent source of natural light, but also allow you to enjoy nature without leaving the comfortable couch or directly from the bed!
