Spring Water Barn, Kent. Barn Conversion
"Working on agricultural buildings requires professionals who understand historical construction methods, have a record of successful project delivery and experience of dealing with design, build and planning challenges."
The contemporary conversion of a steel and concrete framed modern barn situated within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in Kent.
David is a specialist barn conversion architect with extensive experience designing sensitive conversions that respect both heritage and environment.
As architect, David proposed a veiled screen for the main elevation of the barn conversion.
The veil filters natural light into the interior, while maintaining the appearance of a barn like form within the landscape with little fenestration. Within this veil are carefully positioned vignettes that align with the building’s central circulation paths.
The barn is located within an enviable location, enjoying views of woodland, a meadow and the distant sounds of a heritage steam railway threading across the horizon and the vignettes frame these views.
The contemporary barn conversion boasts an open plan arrangement organised around a core of cellular spaces. This maintains the scale of an agricultural building and allows for lofty spaces.
An air source heat pump provides sustainable energy.
