Barn Converted To The Contemporary House With a Pool

This house in open countryside is converted from a barn.

The idea of the renovation was to create a house that sat

naturally in the landscape, appear to be traditional agricultural

building and was comfortable enough living space for the

contemporary lifestyle. Two new wings and a swimming pool

were added to it. The main barn building become a single open

space with 9 meter high oak boarded ceiling. A lot of wood

in that space and a large contemporary fireplace give a sense

of warmth to it.

All buildings feature a quite simple materials pallet:

Cotswold stone floors, oak floors, beams, doors and ceilings

and white painted plasterwork. The energy to run the under-floor

heating is created by ground source heat pumps buried in adjacent

land.
