The Barn is a bespoke new dwelling created from a former agricultural barn. The project also included a new garage block, plant room and swimming pool.
It was designed to protect views of the rolling Rutland countryside, using natural materials to make a strong but subtle architectural statement.
There are five bedrooms, three reception rooms, a study and gym within the form of the original barn.
The site has steeply sloping landscape to the building’s rear, presenting the challenge of how to create usable garden space. It has been turned into a positive by creating an infinity lap swimming pool overlooking the wooded area below.
The new property is integrated into its edge of village location through the choices of materials and finishes, including larch cladding and zinc roof. Underfloor heating was installed throughout.
Inside, glazed partitions allow natural light deep into the home. An air source heat pump warms the house, and a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system brings clean, fresh and cool air in.
