Rural Agricultural Barn Conversion

Once operating as a significant character of a long-established farm holding dedicated to beef cattle production, a concrete portal frame shed has been meticulously preserved and transformed to maintain its agricultural essence. 

Situated within a U-shaped courtyard adjacent to two brick farm buildings, the site is uniquely positioned at a lower elevation than its surrounding landscape, subject to varying climatic conditions and prevailing winds.

The primary notion behind the building's conversion is to restore a sense of place on the site. The development introduces a set of high-quality residential units, each with a private garden and amenity space that enriches its connection to the encompassing verdant land. These units are visually separated by the exposed existing concrete structure above, providing unobstructed farmland views and adding depth to the elevations.

Carefully combined natural materials, such as grey timber boarding and render, tie in with the farm holdings' rural appearance, allowing the redeveloped form to harmonise with its open countryside setting and provide all facades with a tactile appearance. Light internal spaces have been designed through glazing placement to offer many internal and external visual links and assist in integrating inside and outside or dwelling and garden.
