Having been used as a grain store, piggery, turkey coop and cattle shed, this project aims to convert the existing agricultural building into three contemporary homes.
The single barn typology and continuous roof will be retained but with each house linked by a garage and innovative inside, outside courtyard space off the living area. Situated in just under 4 acres in Brundish, Suffolk the proposal seeks to fully embrace the rural setting and allow each home an immediate connection with the ever changing landscape, with significant front and back gardens. Existing materials are exposed and give a robust semi industrial internal palette. Living spaces benefit from double heights and are flooded with natural light and long views. Polished concrete floors hint at former uses whilst providing connectivity throughout the ground floor. Reclaimed materials are used on the inserted first floor giving a feeling of warmth and familiarity.
