This retrofit project demonstrates how existing buildings can be reimagined without losing their soul.
By retaining the original cottage and carefully introducing a contemporary barn-style extension, this home balances heritage, performance, and modern living. The result is a future-ready dwelling that remains firmly grounded in its rural setting.
Key principles behind the build:
Respect for the original structure
Thoughtful modern design intervention
Improved energy performance and longevity
Craftsmanship that connects old and new
Retrofitting isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about building responsibly on what already exists.
Keeping the old. Creating the new.
