Osso Architecture models timber pool house in New Jersey on horse arena
Brooklyn-based studio Osso Architecture has built a pool house on a New Jersey horse farm, utilising standard timber framing and the skills of the local Amish community.
The pool house was completed for the owners of an equestrian farm outside Stockton, and borrowed ideas from the site’s large indoor riding arena.
This existing building is constructed primarily from standard 2×4 and 2×6 timber members, which form a truss system to span the arena.
“While not noticeable in the arena, we knew we wanted to take this key design feature and create a focal point out of it in our design,” said Osso Architecture.
Working with King Barns, an Amish team based nearby, the architects scaled down the arena’s form to create a much smaller barn-like structure.
The truss system is exposed overhead, held together by black metal plates and rivets, while longer metal elements brace the walls.
“Our design highlights the truss by bringing it down into the space and putting it on display,” Osso said.
“This required creating physical study models, 3D renderings and close collaboration with our fantastic engineer to come up with a design that is both beautiful and functional.”
Reached via a stepped wooden boardwalk that crisscrosses a meadow, the pool house contains a kitchen at the far end, a dining area in the centre, and a lounge space on the near side.
A bathroom is tucked around the back, along with an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a dip.
Sliding slated panels cover the longer sides of the structure, enabling users to open up or enclose the space as they wish.
These panels shelter the interior from the wind and sun and extend the use of the building beyond the summer months.
A floating black fireplace is suspended from the roof, and its chimney extends high above the gabled roofline that’s covered in a metal raised-seam system, contrasting the warm-toned wood beneath.
Simple hardwearing furniture is placed inside, echoing the spare and essential nature of the structure.
Pool houses typically offer more aesthetic freedom for architects than primary residences, due to their smaller size, seasonal usage and placement away from the main dwelling.
Others who have been creative with their designs include Knox Bhavan, which buried a brick pool house in Kent beneath grassy mound, and Partisans, which topped an Ontario pool house with an undulating compressed-oak roof.

The final illegal immigrant inmate who escaped an ICE center in New Jersey last month was arrested by the FBI after being tracked down on the other side of the country.
Andres Felipe Pineda-Mogollon was taken into custody Thursday in Los Angeles after a traffic stop in the Silver Lake neighborhood, the FBI’s Los Angeles Office wrote on X. Homeland Security Investigations assisted in the arrest.
“We are tremendously grateful to our brave ICE agents and law enforcement partners for capturing Andres Pineda-Mogollon and the other three dangerous criminal illegal aliens who escaped Delaney Hall,” Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
“Politicians and activists relentlessly try to smear ICE, but the facts remain true: Delaney Hall houses dangerous criminals, including these four fugitives who committed aggravated assault, burglary, theft and even threatened to kill law enforcement. Now, these slimeballs no longer pose a threat to public safety.”
THIRD ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CAPTURED AFTER ICE FACILITY BREAKOUT
The Colombian entered the U.S. in 2023 and overstayed his tourist visa. He was one of four inmates DHS described as “public safety threats” who broke out of Delaney Hall, a privately-run ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, the evening of June 12.

Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada, all from Honduras, were captured before Pineda-Mogollon.
Their escape June 12 happened after an apparent disturbance inside the building, a senior Homeland Security official confirmed to Fox News.
Immigration attorney Mustafa Cetin told NJ.com around 50 detainees at the private center pushed down a dormitory wall after becoming agitated when meals were delayed.
“It’s about the food, and some of the detainees were getting aggressive, and it turned violent,” Cetin said at the time.
