Simple and sleek
The home, built in 1947, was designed by Carl A. Strauss, one of Cincinnati’s finest and most prolific Post-war Modernist architects. The incredibly unique home was nestled into a hillside with a view of downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River. One exterior amenity, an existing swimming pool, was located on a hillside just below the home's first level. The pool, the pool deck, and the supportive retaining walls, were all in need of repair and rejuvenation. We set out to assist in the renovation of the pool and the space. Our client desired the addition of a pool house and spa at one end of the swimming pool. The collaborative efforts of the design team made this project special. Everyone involved in the project including the homeowners, the architects, engineers, interior designers, general contractor, craftsman, and everyone in our office, worked together to create a chic, modernistic space for our clients to embrace and enjoy.
