“It’s truly our family’s favorite spot to gather when we all want to be close together and chatting,” says homeowner Cara Fox, who teamed with husband Tom to design, build and outfit their chic pool house in Holladay. The main home’s Hamptons Colonial style drove the pool house’s architectural design and details. Inside, a two-story fireplace constructed of Utah stone anchors an open living space comprising a sitting area, small kitchen and dining table that seats 12. A changing room/bathroom and a separate laundry room complete the livable floor plan. Large granite squares clad the pool deck and exterior patios with a classic checkerboard pattern that flows seamlessly inside the pool house, creating continuity and no-fuss practicality.
