Our proposals sought to sensitively extend the existing barn dating from the 17th/18th Century to provide additional bedroom accommodation as well as a new home-schooling room. The property is essentially 'end of terrace' and one of 6 properties that were created when the existing barn complex was converted in 2014. It also lies adjacent to other more modern agricultural buildings which are still in use. The first part of our proposals was to extend the barn seamlessly on two levels over the full depth of the building. At ground floor this extended space forms a new entrance point and hallway, shifting the centre of gravity of the whole house and improving internal circulation & flow. At first floor some existing space is reconfigured alongside the extended space to create additional bedroom accommodation. The second part proposes a visually ‘separate’ single storey ‘pavilion’ that sits alongside the main building and incorporates a 5th bedroom and the home-schooling room. The ‘pavilion’ is visually separated but still connected to the main house by a minimally framed glass link corridor including a glazed roof ensuring that remains subservient to the main property. This creates the impression of a building sitting within the garden rather than a conventional extension and forms a clear juxtaposition between traditional and more contemporary construction. The glazed link also encloses a small, enclosed garden courtyard for the home-schooling room and allows light and outlook for the ground floor bedroom. The materials incorporated in the new 'pavilion' provide a counterpoint but still complement the dark stained horizontal timber cladding of the original building. The green roof blends with the surrounding garden, increasing biodiversity and reducing rainwater run-off.
