Picture this, you’re outside, entertaining at the pool. Your friends are over; the barbeque is going. It’s a wonderful day. But then it’s interrupted, someone has to go inside to prepare the salads, and those who are tired of the water move inside to find more comfortable seating. The party is divided. That’s where the pool house is a gamechanger! Join Melbourne Pool + Outdoor Design’s Belinda Coleman as she sits down with Adrian Stamp, Director of Adecca Construction, to discuss the increasing popularity of pool houses.
Adecca Construction is a home build and renovation company specialising in high-quality, cohesive builds that bring presence to the space they’re in. But a few years ago, Stamp noticed that Adecca Construction was more and more frequently getting requests to construct not only the house and interior, but also the outdoor entertainment areas and other outdoor features. This usually meant bringing in an outside contractor to undertake those parts of the project and led to a lot of hassle and confusion. As a result, the team at Adecca has worked tirelessly to expand their services, now providing a holistic approach to home and outdoor design.
The new model includes not only high-quality home builds and renovations, but also a whole suite of hard landscaping and outdoor design options. From pool houses to pergolas, Adecca has got you covered with its exceptional quality of work, ensuring that both your indoor and outdoor spaces are delivered with perfected precision.
A HOLISTIC APPROACH
Not only does Adecca’s expanded range of services provide cohesion, it also provides quality assurance on all of the hard landscaping elements and external structures. The external sections will align with and fit into the rest of the build, and where the team would often have to get multiple contractors in to do various elements, it’s now all done in-house, reducing project stress and cost.
Stamp emphasises the advantages of this expanded business model, explaining that Adecca can “construct any outdoor element or environment a client can imagine.” This includes masonry walls, cantilevered columns, pergolas, metal planter boxes, outdoor seating or fire pits. Stamp adds that the team’s “construction delivery is only limited by the imagination of the client”.
INTRODUCING THE POOL HOUSE
One of the most common outdoor structures Adecca is called on to build for clients is a pool house. Pool houses are essentially an entertainment space built into the pool precinct of your home, allowing cohesion between the pool and other home spaces.
Typically, clients include a kitchen and shower space in the pool house. But pool houses are recreational retreats next to your pool area, allowing for a whole range of customisation and creativity.
As Stamp says, “pools are a central feature of a family home. A pool house provides a space to shower, prepare a meal or relax on a sofa all while remaining engaged with people around the pool.” Most clients will also include air conditioning and seating in their pool houses.
When designing a pool house, the team at Adecca Construction works hard to capture the outcomes their client has in mind, from preliminary drawings through to costing, revision and final construction. This is what matters most to the team. Along the way they work to keep the project in budget and ensure that all details are carefully considered. Their final builds are built to last and stay in use for a long time.
UNIQUELY YOURS
While there’s a small set of standard things clients include in their pool houses, such as showers, bathrooms and kitchenettes, there are infinite design possibilities and customisations to make the space truly yours. Stamp describes the variety of purpose built pool houses he has worked on. From ensuring the inclusion of steam showers and gymnasiums to building in home office spaces, these pool houses are infinitely customisable.
Many clients also use their pool house as a built-to-purpose entertainment space, with game rooms and TVs included to make the space perfect for entertaining across a broad range of hosting styles.
The home office addition to the pool house is also tailored to you, providing dedicated work and study spaces away from the hustle and bustle of the house.
At the end of the day the pool house is a versatile, luxurious space, capable of multifunctional improvement to lifestyle and living spaces.
Stamp reflects that due to the luxury and customisable versatility of the pool house build, “clients will generally spend more time researching the amenities they require to ensure that they meet their expectations.”
Adecca Construction works with clients to ensure that these products are going to last and to identify and solve any maintenance problems that might arise. As a company, Adecca construction is committed to flawless design and seamless construction. Stamp explains that he wants “every project we deliver to be a show piece that we can present to prospective clients.”
Stamp also explains that the team at Adecca are committed to providing “construction solutions to the most challenging of sites and design concepts,” and have the “skill and passion” to deliver with precision and expertise.
