Low Energy Barn Conversion
The low-energy barn conversion embodies a seamless fusion of traditional charm and modern sustainability. With a focus on energy efficiency and environmental consciousness, the design revitalises the historic structures while preserving their rustic character. By simplifying alterations and emphasising visual separation between existing buildings, the project honours their historical significance within the countryside landscape. The contemporary design language, free from overtly domestic references, creates a striking contrast with the old while harmonising with its rugged aesthetic. In essence, this conversion represents a thoughtful balance between tradition and innovation, celebrating architectural heritage while embracing the imperatives of sustainable living.
