A trellis-covered space serves as an ideal setting for alfresco dinner parties, while the gazebo and poolside lounge areas lend themselves to rest and relaxation. The pool house offers a place to get dressed and store toys and accessories. Teak furniture weathers well and develops a pretty patina; neutral cushions throughout allow an interchangeable palette of pillows, creating a coordinated exterior that adds to the sophisticated but inviting spirit of the rest of the home.
