No. 16 Sheds, Studios & Pool Houses · Mediterranean
Open Cabana with Draped Neutral Curtains
Beside a rectangular pool and flagstone patio, an open-sided cabana pool house features a terracotta tile roof, draped curtains, and a cushioned timber lounge near olive trees and potted succulents.
Design notes
Mediterranean design is about shade and thick walls. Look for stucco in warm neutrals, terracotta or travertine underfoot, arches and loggias that throw deep shadow, and gravel courtyards rather than lawn. Water is small and central — a fountain, a rill, a tiled spa — and planting is drought-tolerant: olives, cypress, lavender, rosemary and bougainvillea. Wrought iron, blue-and-white tile and a long table under vines finish the picture.
What to look for
- Roof pitch, siding and windows that echo the main house
- The path, the light by the door and the planting around it
- Power, insulation and drainage if you will work or sleep in it
