Barns

Grade II Listed Wedding Venue Accommodation

A modern Dutch barn, part of a collection of vernacular farm buildings and a grade II* listed dwelling, has been suitably converted to meet the growing accommodation needs of the farm's present function.

Once solely a grain storage, the development is focused on creating a visually attractive architectural solution that improves the site's distinct character and enriches the building's relationship with the immediate site and surrounding context, ensuring seamless integration into the historic farm grounds.

The conversion is devised to echo the traditional agricultural use and pay homage to the local building stock. To achieve this, the steel frame, enclosing blockwork walls, and corrugated metal sheeting roof will be retained, maintaining the form and height of the structure as it exists today.

Black metal cladding and high-quality dark grey/black metal windows and doors have been inserted into the walls as appropriate for the internal arrangement. Windows include vertical louvres finished in black to match the adjacent cladding to provide privacy to rooms and ensure the overall appearance of the building retains its traditional agricultural aesthetic. This materiality successfully replies to the distinctive essence of the site, providing a visual connection and assisting its integration for the site's operation.
