After designing the house in a new Los Gatos development, we returned at the request of the new owners to create an intimately scaled entertainment and recreation area for the couple and their friends. The resulting 580-sqare-foot cabaña was sited to allow a strong visual connection to the family room of the house, and to take advantage of views of the beautiful terraced grounds of the property.

An outdoor shower and plunge pool give cooling relief after exercise and from the summer heat. An outdoor fireplace and BBQ area have become the focal point of a garden dining terrace and are often in use on warm summer evenings.

The interior provides room for a ping-pong table and gym equipment, and a fireplace with a flat-screen TV above. The light-hearted interior décor evokes a fun TGIF theme.
