A contemporary conversion with low environmental impact. Using modern building methods and cutting edge materials to create a sustainable home with large open spaces. Working closely with an architect in Australia and clients in Kenya, we met challenging building objectives despite the impact of conflicting time zones. Ongoing design alterations were made via frequent video calls and through a regularly updated private blog. All information and changes to the specification of the build were recorded on-site via tablet computers to ensure a digital logbook is maintained that can be accessed by all parties involved at any-point from anywhere in the world.This passive house barn conversion has been designed with a traditional soft external shell that retains the original barn features. A more modern, contemporary core, complete with clean lines and cutting edge technologies provides a comfortable living space and interesting juxtaposition with the exterior. Most of the barn is supported by large, underpinning stools that have been sensitively waterproofed to create the necessary additional height needed to comfortably accommodate both floors.
Lighting design carried out in-house, gives a sharp, contemporary feeling to a traditional structure.

Lowering the floor level throughout, removal of all interior partitions with reinstatement of original barn openings. Temporary bracing to roof. We found that much of the stone walls had intermittent areas of blockwork (from a 1980s renovation) cut into the old walls. The walls themselves were incredibly thick in places, often just stuffed with dirt and straw between the inner and outer skin.
Roof structure had to be braced as the king trusses were carefully adapted to allow sufficient head height above.

You can see the adjusted roof structure now allows for the floor above, and the new roof lights / dormers. The concrete oversight has been laid and a reinforced upstand foundation to the rear gable has allowed the floor level to be lowered overall whilst retaining structural integrity. A public road runs just behind this gable.
