A careful transformation of a traditional farmhouse - reconnecting past and present to create a calm, coherent home.

The farmhouse was where one of our clients grew up and, returning to the family farm with a young and expanding family more space was required to suit their modern lifestyle.

Key to solving the space problem was positioning a new entrance which would link the existing farmhouse, existing barn and a new extension. This allowed old and new elements to connect seamlessly and function as a single, unified home.

Materials were chosen to reinforce a sense of unity - with stone, timber and steel used in a restrained and consistent way across old and new buildings.

the result is a home where a fragmented group of structures has been transformed into a calm, beautiful and functional family home.
