This project started life as a derelict courtyard of traditional stone barns. The centre was covered by a large asbestos and metal barn, which was removed to give the barns back their original format. Cement render was stripped and the stonework restored, with new roofs over the carefully restored timber trusses creating three delightful homes around the courtyard.
All three barns share a ground source heat pump, inserted vertically into the courtyard using boreholes to provide renewable heat to the project. This is combined with underfloor heating throughout all the barns to provide a very comfortable internal environment. With the addition of new solar panels, the running costs of these three homes is very low for this type of historic conversion project.
The open fronted nature of the East and West barns required modern intervention that would sit comfortably in this setting. We used a charred larch cladding to wrap both barns, and extended the detail over the glazing, retaining the solidity and simplicity of the traditional agricultural aesthetic, and the large format barn openings, while providing expansive glazing and countryside views.
