Converted Barn
Whilst it may seem a sensible, simple and sustainable option, transforming an existing agricultural barn to a new home can only be granted if it is classified as a Class Q permitted development.
Field House is a striking example of a successful Class Q development built to Passive House principles to create a low energy home.
Complexities
MAKE ensure every project is led by an experienced Site Manager based at the location throughout the build. This is particularly important considering agricultural sites are often remote and notoriously challenging to access.
With the added test of snow and flooding during the winter months, the benefit of a Site Manager safeguarded the quality of finish and the project budget.
Collaboration
As architects themselves, the client’s vision integrated beautiful bespoke joinery throughout which complimented a remarkable home set within an uninterrupted landscape.
