The Stable House and The Lodge take on differing architectural forms due to their in situ conversions. They both offer a modern interpretation of rural building whilst embracing key sustainability features as a part of our design ethos.

‘The Stable House’ is the conversion and extension of the existing hay barn. The main portal frame has been retained and turned into an architectural design feature both externally and internally. Extensions have been added to the south, informed by the views and orientation of the site. The topography we felt, encouraged a split level design with the main communal living spaces to the ground floor including the living room, family room/ games room at one level, the  kitchen and dining at a lower level opening out to a sunken terrace and the external gym up a few steps. The bedrooms to the first floor take advantage of the vaulted space form the structural frame and the main bedroom, those views down the valley!

‘The Lodge’ is the conversion of the stables to the northern most part of the site. The majority of the existing two-winged structure is proposed to be retained with internal insulation upgrades and new roof. The additions create a charmingly quirky single storey home. An angled extension between the two wings creates the central entrance to the two wings – one containing the living, kitchen and dining areas and the other  the bedrooms and bathrooms,.

The development creates landscape and ecological enhancements as well as a sustainable urban drainage design, improving the surface water management of the site and wider area.
