New Barn, Devon:
Conversion to holiday home

Purchased by my clients as a derelict shell with consent for conversion to two cottages with domestic scale openings and a proliferation of roof lights. The scheme sought to maintain the character of the barn by limited new openings to the same scale as the existing large openings. The principal volume of the barn was treated as a sacrosanct open space, placing the bedrooms in the former animal byre below.
