Lynn Palmer Architects Case Study
BARN REVIVAL
J
ane Davies had spent years lovingly
restoring her Grade II listed former
public house, which featured an
attached 18th century, single
storey, wychert barn to the rear
of the property. Although not all
structurally sound, most of the barn’s original
trusses remained intact, presenting a stunning
large, vaulted single open space.
Jane approached Lynn Palmer Architects
with a brief to restore, repair and bring the
space back into use as a contemporary family
living space. “It was also important that the
barn maintained its original features,” said
Jane. “I asked that Lynn and her team remodel
parts of the existing home to blend in the barn
conversion and the house; Lynn and her team
listened, worked with me, and I am absolutely
delighted with the results.”
The former hay loft which stood as an
independent frame, has been replaced with a
mezzanine f loor, this not only gives Jane and her
family even more useable space but also provides
the opportunity to look down from this elevated
vantage point. The glass balustrade maintains
the uninterrupted vistas across the room.Lynn Palmer Architects nourished a derelict barn into a bright living space
