This award-winning Class Q permitted development converts a redundant steel and concrete framed barn into a contemporary, energy-efficient family home. The project delivers a clear and functional layout with generous, light-filled living spaces suited to modern family life.
The design combines aluminium cladding with steel-framed glazing to create a refined industrial aesthetic. Internally, a double-height living area maximises daylight and frames long views across the surrounding countryside, while the kitchen and living spaces are arranged for clarity, flexibility, and everyday use.
Energy efficiency was a key driver throughout the design and construction, informing fabric performance, detailing, and specification. The completed home has been recognised by the FMB Awards for design and build excellence, reflecting the quality and rigour of the project.
