Offset Architects were appointed to restore life into a very tired and dilapidated barn. The existing orientation on the site provided a great opportunity to link and extend the buildings whilst creating a secluded court feel. As the site is in a rural character area, the planning application process was carefully navigated through a Pre-App exercise to see how we could maximise development. The extensions were modest, but along with the significant re-configuration of the internal spaces, we were able to design a spacious and modern open plan home for the client. We then went on to prepare Building Regulation & Construction detail drawings. Offset Architects managed the application and lead the team of consultants to gain full Building Control approval.
