Completed house with a contemporary agricultural barn aesthetic

Located in a South Somerset Conservation Area, this newly completed project is looking idyllic.

Dairy Farm is a simple, stylish new house inspired by the rural aesthetics of its historic farmyard location. The main building replaces a portal frame barn, while the smaller stone barn was retained and converted to form a smaller side wing.

The two buildings with contrasting but complimentary scales and finishes are kept separate and joined with a central glazed link.

Vertical timber cladding, powder coated aluminium windows and detailing together with a corrugated metal roof create a contemporary agricultural aesthetic that pays homage to the existing buildings while embracing modern design principles.
