West County pool house exterior with dark siding, cedar soffit, and blue tiled pool wall

Permanent work · Featured project

West County Pool House

Architecture, landscape, and daily life brought together in one complete environment.

Definitive work

One project.
Every detail.

The West County Pool House is the clearest expression of how we work: a permanent space shaped from the whole picture, not a collection of isolated parts.

The dark exterior, warm wood canopy, blue tile, pool, landscape, and open-air rooms form a single visual language—considered from long view to close detail.

Living with the work

“Brian and the BRAVE team were incredible partners in our remodeling project. They helped us refine our vision, adapt designs as the project evolved, and thoughtfully balanced our priorities with the constraints. The final results, from the house to the pool house, perfectly reflect the aesthetic we dreamed of.”
