A pool house redesign in Toronto

Design firm +tongtong designed the renovation of a mid-century era pool house, located in the backyard of a house in Toronto, Canada.

After receiving many renovations throughout the years, +tongtong wanted to bring it back to it’s original glory and add a few contemporary touches.

All of the windows in the pool house were pushed flush to the ceiling to follow the line of the roof, and offer sunlight while providing privacy for guests.

Within the large open-concept space, is a freestanding block of cabinets that defines the open and private spaces.

The large table, designed by +tongtong, is made of exotic wood salvaged from the Panama Canal and features a geometric steel-frame base.

On the private side of the cabinets, is a space for guests to change and shower.

The space can then be transformed into a guest suite…

With a murphy bed that folds out of the wall.
