Who would have guessed what lies beneath?
Concealed below a quiet garden, this underground swimming pool, gym, and sauna form a hidden world of luxury and relaxation — all created through a bespoke architectural design.
Working within the garden of an estate cottage beside a Grade II listed walled garden in Worcestershire, Andrea Millner Architects designed the entire subterranean concept. The space can be entered in two ways: a discreet tunnel from the cottage itself, or a spiral staircase neatly concealed beneath a modest timber gazebo.
Follow the gently twisting tunnel and a grand timber door opens to reveal the unexpected. The interiors have been carefully designed with natural materials, warm lighting and exquisite finishes to create a calm, almost spa-like atmosphere. Above the pool, stretch ceilings sparkle with starlight, while in the gym, a canopy of silhouetted trees gives the feeling of a summer’s day all year round.
