In brief
Characterised by a tapered, bronze-coloured over-sailing zinc roof, which floats above minimally framed glazing, framing and highlighting the property's distinctive elongated façade.
Our clients’ ambition was to improve the quality and appearance of the farmhouse through the reimagining of the central section of the property, where an out-of-place conservatory was in a state of disrepair, resulting in poor energy performance and limiting year-round use due to temperature extremes.
Works centred around the construction of a considered modern extension, designed to transform the central living space and improve the property's energy efficiency, whilst enhancing its original structure and form.
The extension is ‘light in form’, allowing the old stone walls to take centre stage. Inside, a cohesive open-plan living and dining space was enabled by means of an enlarged opening in the rear stone wall. The extension connects through from the old kitchen to the rear gardens, drawing natural light into the centre of the property.
Considered construction methodology included skilled stonemasonry and metalwork, as well as careful airtightness and insulation optimisation, which has transformed the liveability and energy efficiency of the property.
