The Hayloft

CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

The emulated appearance of classic farm buildings in a rural farmstead was our inspired architectural design approach and meant the planners were happy to explore designs that encapsulated these principles and local agricultural history, yet reinterpreted these in a modern and contemporary manner.

The new build replica Dutch barn is arranged in a south facing courtyard formation in keeping with traditional working farm layouts. With authenticity at the fore, the archetypal agricultural footprint widths meld with contrasting construction materials, so when viewed from the wider countryside, its silhouette reflects a traditional farmstead.

The iconic Dutch barn shape is created through a structural steel frame and sheet metal barrel roof. With a solid interior and Ash Thermowood cladding for the exterior.

 

A unique 5-bedroom home designed to impeccable standards both inside and out. The sculpted barrel roof allows a series of covered external spaces; an expansive south facing balcony complete with entertaining area and covered car parking beneath. Set against the backdrop of beautiful rolling countryside, the luxurious home fuses historic rural elements with a modern lifestyle.

Underfloor heating and heat recovery systems ensure rooms maintain optimum temperatures thereby lessening energy usage as part of sustainability considerations, whilst externally new landscaping bring a richness of habitats for species, and live natural organisms treat wastewater.

Being truly inclusive, the home meets the design requirements of Life Time Homes, with one bedroom and en-suite located on the ground floor.
