Since extension of this historic agricultural property in the Cotswolds was prohibited at ground level, the solution lay beneath. A 280 square metre below-ground extension was designed, in part under the existing barn and extending out into the landscape. The new lower-ground floor looks out onto a sunken courtyard garden and accommodates two bedroom suites, a gym, a sauna and a playroom. The existing barn underwent a complete interior design renovation, which included a new kitchen and a two-storey master bedroom suite.
natural finishes
The interior brief from the client was to achieve a comfortable, functional & eclectic space which reflected on its country setting: Thus we used a palette of stone and wood that brought an organic feel to the property and a sense of warmth. The kitchen design and use of finishes created a practical and classic backdrop to the functionality of the area, which would allow the client to cook and entertain; it has become a true hub of the home.
