Your Build – Summer 2019

Case Study Lynn Palmer Architects


The renovation was not without its challenges
with one original central truss missing, the end
hipped roof was over stressed and failing. The
new frame, although oak, and jointed with pin
joints in a traditional manor, sits inboard from
the external fabric, as an obvious new addition.
Clearly making a statement between old and
new, yet still blending comfortably with the
original beams.
Jane was absolutely committed to the project
from the start, she employed craftsman with
expertise in Listed Buildings, with traditional
lime screed f loors and lime plastering on the
wall the building can continue to breathe.
Contemporary materials sit side by side with
tradition, giving balance.
Lynn Palmer Architects have won national
awards for their listed building extensions. And
their secret? “You have to work with what you
have, produce a creative solution that doesn’t
dominate the original structure but frames it.”
When you look at White Hart Barn who can
argue with that!
