This project aimed to create a unified series of flowing, contemporary spaces linked to the rolling landscape setting, respecting the existing oast house, and taking advantage of the views.The original building was given a thorough but sensitive makeover, removing the garage, study and kitchen wing to make way for the new annex. What remained was carefully analysed and repaired appropriately so the 200-year-old building is easily discernible against the new interventions. The annex itself is an altogether more sculptural and dynamic form of interconnecting volumes, entirely clad in a durable engineered timber boarding, orientated vertically, in contrast to the rough-sawn horizontal lapped timber cladding of the barn. The external massing expresses the internal function of each room.
