Elegant Pool House heated by Herschel

Background

The Oxfordshire Pool House, by Okopod, is a showcase of Okopod’s philosophy: modern living, designed with care and where less is always more. We are delighted to be the chosen heating solution for this beautifully designed space. Our infrared heaters share a similar philosophy with their sleek, clean, quality build – the ideal modern heating solution for improved comfort and sustainable living.

Solution

Designed to complement the clean lines and generous glazing of the family home; the Pool House features Yakisugi Cladding (a charred timber), sedum roof, and large bifold doors which open out to views over the increasingly popular natural swimming pool, a growing trend in sustainable landscaping.

‘Discreet, practical details such as the ceiling mounted infrared heater, show the attention and care for detail in the project’, Okopod.

Ceiling-mounting Herschel’s white electric infrared heating panels provides an effective, efficient and space-saving heating solution whilst ensuring rapid installation and minimal disruption to the build. Additionally, their sleek, subtle and slimline finish fits the modern aesthetic within the airy and bright interior perfectly.

We are delighted that our infrared panels have been chosen for this green build which is focused on making environmentally conscious choices, minimising energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Creating a slice of luxury for the family, the multi-functional space includes a living area, work-from-home office, bathroom, and integrated storage. Inside, birch plywood walls and ceilings, a signature Okopod finish, bring warmth and a timeless, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic.

The Pool House is built on Okopod’s zero-concrete, raft foundation system, which enables rapid installation while minimising environmental impact. Their off-site, factory-built construction ensures precise quality and significantly reduces on-site time, leading to minimal disruption for the client.

Combining comfort, innovation, design and sustainability, infrared heating panels offers the ideal solution to complement the Okopod design.
