Poolside Paradise
A tropical addition to compliment a new pool, this pavilion serves as an outdoor entertainment and living space for the Old Oak Plantation. Round columns were used to tie this new structure with the existing home, while other materials like exotic tigerwood ceilings were used to give the pavilion a tropical feel. Complete with a swim-up bar, the cabana features a built-in grill, sink and two TVs to create a unique and functional experience meant to make one feel as if they are in the tropics.
