Case Study Classic Architecture
of materials that properly represents each
type of building that formed the group. From
distant views it succeeds and appears as an
isolated farm stead but up close within the site
it is a mix of contemporary, with lots of glass,
copper, and stainless steel, and the traditional
buttressed brick with a handmade tiled roof
of an historic barn. The different elements are
linked by frameless structures that are designed
to maintain the appearance of separation but
connect each part. The scale of barns and farm
buildings is large compared to houses, which
is a bonus that gave us tall internal spaces that
we exploited to make exciting double height
rooms. We used frameless glass for the internal
subdivision that helped preserve the openness
and large areas of external glass the rooms enjoy
far views of the landscape.
The inventiveness of the design has not only
been a triumph over, but as a result, of the
restrictions of planning policy.
