This sensitive conversion reimagines a seventeenth-century barn as a contemporary family home, retaining the integrity of its historic fabric. A restored oak frame and thatched roof anchor the design, while a calm, modern interior brings clarity and light to the original structure.
Given the building’s fragile condition, the project was developed in close collaboration with structural engineers and conservation officers. Every element of the historic frame was carefully recorded, with non-contact laser scanning used to test and refine the design before construction, reducing risk and ensuring informed, efficient decision-making.
The exposed oak structure now defines generous double-height kitchen and living spaces, celebrating the barn’s craftsmanship while supporting a clean, contemporary palette. Old and new are held in balance, creating a light-filled home shaped by heritage and designed for modern family life.
The interior design showcases a perfect balance of modern elements and historical charm, creating a unique and inviting space. With carefully curated furnishings and thoughtful use of space, the home exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a delightful blend of past and present.
The double-height kitchen living space is framed by the striking exposed oak structure, seamlessly weaving the barn’s historical essence with a contemporary flair in the interior design. The project culminates in a light-filled home, tailored for comfortable family living.
The bathroom/wet room provides a welcoming ambiance, retaining the authenticity of the original Cotswold stone and beams while ensuring the space is both functional and aesthetically pleasing in its design.
