Garden Gallery: A Southern Garden Poolhouse

I work at the intersection of design, horticulture, culture, and systems—helping people and institutions think clearly, act deliberately, and create lasting impact.

A souther garden pool house

This pool house could make me actually want a pool.  I am lusting over the refined details and the simultaneous simplicity.  The structure was created by the architectural firm Henry Sprott Long and Associates and the interiors where done by Phoebe Howard.

When I see lovely projects like this featured in magazines, it always makes me wonder — who did the garden?  Was the designer not listed because their wasn’t one? Did the interior designer or architect do the garden design?  Because if they did, I would sure like to know that these people also have that talent.  Or was it just that for some reason, mentioning the garden designer is just simply (too often) forgotten?

    I agree! They need to credit all the trades involved. Beautiful project!
