Heritage
This extensive restoration, part reconstruction and conversion of a former derelict barn and cattle shed – on an enviable hilltop location in the Cotswolds – resulted in a stunning, six-bedroom, countryside getaway.
Retaining the original barn forms and stonework façade, the new design – arranged around a courtyard space – presents a contemporary extension, with black ‘hit and miss’ boarding, zinc roof and wrap around Crittall glazing.
Large open plan, light-filled living areas – including a bespoke kitchen / diner by Kitchen Architecture – enjoy long-distance views of the gardens and surrounding landscape. A sculptural staircase at the core of the plan, provides architectural and artistic drama, as well as being a functional space divide, between living areas.
Throughout, exposed steel beams and timber trusses unite rural architecture with accents of light industrial design – woven together with steel frame Crittall windows. This meeting of styles follows through with eclectic interior architecture and design, working alongside Nia Morris – whose elegant, tactile and hardwearing materials were carefully selected to withstand the wear and tear of an outdoors country lifestyle.
