A pool house is the ultimate poolside accessory, a versatile structure that can transform your outdoor living experience. It can serve as a private changing room, a convenient bathroom, a shady retreat, or a stylish hub for entertaining. Y&M Brothers Design & Build specializes in custom pool houses for Los Angeles homeowners.

Los Angeles Pool Cabana & Guest House Builders

A custom-built pool house can add a new dimension to your poolside living. It provides convenience for you and your guests, with a place to change, shower, and use the restroom without tracking water through the main house. It also offers valuable storage for pool toys, towels, and equipment, keeping your poolside area neat and organized. A well-designed pool house can even serve as an entertainment hub with a small kitchen or bar, or as a private guest house for visitors.

As a family-owned company, we are committed to quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design. We understand that a pool house is a significant addition to your property, and we work closely with you to create a structure that meets your specific needs and reflects your personal style.

Design Styles for Pool Houses

The architectural style of your pool house should complement your main home and the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space.

A traditional pool house might feature classic elements like board-and-batten siding and a gable roof, while a contemporary pool house might have clean lines and large expanses of glass. A Mediterranean or Spanish-style pool house with stucco walls and a tile roof is very popular in Los Angeles.

The size of your pool house will depend on how you plan to use it, ranging from a simple 100-square-foot changing room to a 400-square-foot structure with a bathroom, kitchenette, and living area.

Outdoor Showers

An outdoor shower is a popular feature for pool houses and poolside areas. It allows swimmers to rinse off before entering the pool, reducing the amount of sunscreen, dirt, and other contaminants in the water. An outdoor shower also provides a refreshing way to cool off on a hot day. Outdoor showers can be simple and utilitarian or luxurious and spa-like.

A basic outdoor shower might consist of a simple showerhead mounted on a wall or post with a concrete or tile floor. A more elaborate outdoor shower might be enclosed with walls or privacy screens, feature multiple showerheads or a rain shower, and include built-in benches and storage niches. We can design an outdoor shower that fits your style and budget.

Bathrooms and Changing Rooms

A bathroom is one of the most valuable features you can include in a pool house. It provides privacy and convenience for you and your guests, eliminating the need to go into the main house in wet swimsuits. A pool house bathroom typically includes a toilet, a sink, and sometimes a shower. The fixtures and finishes should be durable and water-resistant.

A dedicated changing room provides a private space for guests to change into and out of their swimsuits. It might include built-in benches, hooks for hanging towels and clothes, and a mirror. Some homeowners choose to include separate changing rooms for men and women, while others prefer a single, larger changing area.

Storage Solutions

Storage is an important consideration for any pool house. Pool equipment, toys, floats, and cleaning supplies can quickly clutter your poolside area if there is no dedicated place to store them. A pool house can include built-in cabinets, closets, or a separate utility room for storing these items. Proper storage keeps your poolside area neat and organized and protects your equipment from the elements.

Kitchenettes and Bar Areas

A kitchenette or bar area can transform your pool house into an entertainment hub. A simple kitchenette might include a sink, a small refrigerator, and a counter for preparing drinks and snacks. A more elaborate setup might include a built-in grill, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage for dishes and glassware. A bar area with seating allows you to serve drinks and entertain guests without having to go back and forth to your indoor kitchen.

Climate Control and Electrical

Climate control can make your pool house comfortable year-round. Air conditioning is essential for hot Los Angeles summers, while heating extends the usability of the space into the cooler months. We can install a variety of climate control systems, including mini-split heat pumps, which are energy-efficient and easy to install.

Adequate electrical service is important for powering lights, appliances, and climate control systems. We make certain that your pool house has sufficient electrical capacity and that all wiring is done to code. Lighting should include both task lighting for functional areas and ambient lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere.

Permitting and Regulations

Building a pool house in Los Angeles requires navigating local building codes and obtaining the necessary permits. The permitting process can be complex, involving architectural plans, engineering calculations, and inspections. At Y&M Brothers, we have extensive experience with the Los Angeles permitting process and handle all the paperwork and coordination for you. We make certain that your pool house is built to code and that all inspections are passed.
