About the project

The conversion of an existing farm barn into a two-storey home, with an extension.

The key task was to adopt a design strategy that was not only economical but also practical while meeting the client’s requirements. The existing barn was built on a solid slab with little or no foundation, so underpinning was used where required.

The rest of the structure uses a flitched ridge beam, floor joists and trimmers to suit the site.

Key structural elements

  • Underpinning
  • Flitched ridge beams
  • Steel beams
  • Vaulted ceiling
