This extension to an isolated stone farm building utilises key elements of the existing vernacular - the locally sourced stone, the pitch of the roof and the slate colour for new powder-coated metalwork - and combines them in an uncluttered, modern idiom with the modern technology of structural-silicone glazing. A ‘room in a landscape’ than a ‘garden-room’ it maximizes the key views out: black painted doors open out to the dramatic hillside to the south, and the fully-glazed new gable wall faces out to the steep grazing pastures across the stream to the east. Clerestory glazing on the long elevations enhances these views and also serves to ‘decouple’ the plane of the glazed roof from the dressed and rough stonework below. The asymmetric steel frame incorporates mechanical extract ventilation and audio speakers between its twin ridge beams and supports intermediate glass beams that further heighten the transparency of the roof.
