Converting a barn or farm building

HSSP has over 50 years’ experience in creating stunning new homes or striking commercial premises from historic barns and dilapidated agricultural buildings.

Barns and agricultural buildings offer opportunities to create spectacular residential or commercial properties in sought-after rural locations. Whether it’s historic features, old stone structures or double-height spaces that attract you, as barn conversion architects, we combine restoration with innovation to transform your building.

Our designs fuse original features with modern materials and engineering, open plan spaces and accents of contemporary design, from vaulted ceilings and picture windows, to industrial interiors and mezzanine structures.

Our expert barn conversion architects can guide you through local and regional planning processes and development permits for barn conversions, including special requirements for green belt locations, conservation areas and listed buildings.
