The idea of a house extension with swimming pool is a dream come true for many homeowners. Imagine a space dedicated to relaxation, sport or leisure, accessible all year round, whatever the weather.

Defining your pool extension project

A house extension with swimming pool involves extending your existing home to include a pool, usually covered. The idea is to create a new living space, where water becomes the focal point. Whether for swimming, relaxing or simply enjoying a soothing setting, this extension adds a new dimension to your home.

What type of extension for your pool?

The choice of extension type is crucial and depends on your wishes, your budget and the architecture of your existing home.

Luminous veranda: Ideal for an indoor pool, the veranda offers exceptional luminosity thanks to its large bay windows. Aluminum or wood verandas can be custom-designed to fit your project perfectly.

High veranda with sliding bay windows: This enclosure opens completely onto the outside, offering flexibility between indoor and outdoor pools, depending on the season. It’s an excellent compromise for enjoying your garden and your pool.

Solid extension (concrete, wood or composite materials): For harmonious, long-lasting integration with the architecture of your home, opt for construction in traditional materials. Wood brings warmth and modernity, while concrete offers great architectural freedom.

Wooden sliding sheds or mixed structures: Less common for direct integration into the home, this shelter can nevertheless be an elegant solution for an adjoining pool, with the option of opening it completely.

Administrative procedures: what you need to know!

Before starting any work, it’s essential to take all the necessary administrative steps.

  • A building permit is generally required if the surface area of the extension exceeds 20 m².
  • Below 20 m², a simple declaration is sufficient.
  • If the pool is installed in an existing building without altering its external appearance, the formalities are simpler.
  • If the total surface area of your home after the extension exceeds 150 m², you will need to call on the services of a project manager or architect. In France, these rules are strict and must be respected by all private individuals.

For the extension of your house with swimming pool, we recommend that you call on the services of an interior design agency.
