Co-ordinating architect for the technical design and construction supervision of the remodelling and extension of an existing farmhouse and outbuildings. Helen Hughes Design produced the concept and interior design and obtained planning permission. We followed her concept closely when creating the construction details and specification of materials. Set within 69 acres of tenanted pastoral farmland, was a farmhouse and three associated agricultural buildings. The centre of the home is now the open plan kitchen / dining / living space, converted from a double height barn. Maintaining visual separation between the building types was key, which was achieved with a full height glass link. Leisure facilities (including a swimming pool and gym) were provided alongside, set around a landscaped courtyard featuring an ornamental water garden. Larch timber cladding and zinc roofing form the new garage and the parts of the central stable block. The farmhouse interior maintains period details and a more traditional domestic feel while the converted barns and stables have a minimal material palette and detailing, designed to maximise volume, light and connection to the exterior spaces. The house was designed to high sustainable credentials.
