Before & After: Two-Story Pool Cage with Picture View in Sanibel
This project in Sanibel shows how a pool enclosure can completely transform an outdoor area after hurricane damage.
Introduction
The homeowner originally asked for the same design as before, but during the consultation we presented different options. The option featuring a picture view wall was ultimately chosen, bringing a more open and modern feel to the 4,884 sq ft enclosure.
Project goals
The main request was to recreate the destroyed cage, but also to take the opportunity to make it better. The house stands on pilings, which makes it essentially three stories tall, with the first level serving as a non-living space. This added complexity to the design process, since the new enclosure needed to align with the proportions of the tall structure while also enhancing the outdoor view. After discussing the design details, the homeowner decided on a white frame for the new cage, ensuring that it blended seamlessly with the style of the house.
