Snitterton Hall Swimming Pool

Snitterton Hall is an immaculately preserved 16th Century Elizabethan manor house, now grade I listed.

An assessment of potential locations identified the site of a former mid-18th to early 19th Century glasshouse which had been built against a stone boundary wall within the former orchard and productive garden.

A design was developed which proposed a contemporary reinterpretation of the former glasshouse and growing frames, based on fragments of the former structure which remained embedded in the garden wall. The new glasshouse provides access to, and daylight for a completely subterranean pool house. The combination of the carefully chosen site and discreet appearance of the new glasshouse allowed this substantial new intervention to be constructed without impacting the setting of the hall itself.
