Bringing Friends and Family Together

Jeff’s plan for the pool pavilion echoes the style of the home, which was designed by Al Jones. Measuring 20 feet square, the pavilion provides shade during the summer and a warming fireplace when the air turns cool. Kitchen conveniences run along a sidewall. Set back beneath a lean-to roof are a bath and areas for prep and storage.

“We love what’s here,” says Pauline. “It gets prettier each year.” When friends and family come over, they honestly enjoy themselves, because this space brings people together.
