Brief

This project involved the sensitive extension of a traditional Cornish barn conversion. The clients wanted to create additional living space while respecting the building's agricultural heritage. Our approach focused on creating a clear distinction between old and new, using contemporary materials and detailing that complement rather than compete with the existing structure. The result is a harmonious blend of traditional and modern architecture that enhances the property's unique character.

Approach

  • Working within heritage constraints
  • Seamless integration with existing structure
  • Maximizing natural light in deep plan

Design Focus

Floor-to-ceiling glazing
Exposed structural timber
Sustainable materials
Energy-efficient design
