Completed project: Dorset barn conversion development

We are pleased to share the photographs of these recently completed converted barns, set within the Dorset National Landscape near Shillingstone.

The design takes a restrained approach, retaining the barns’ original materials and agricultural character at Gains Cross Farm, while introducing carefully considered new openings.

Removing later modern structures restores the clarity of the historic courtyard and its original rural setting.

Our planning approval converted the group of barns into six characterful new homes. The applicant subsequently sought a further change of use, enabling the buildings to operate as a commercial business park, building upon the ‘residential use’ planning approval secured by WDA.

Many thanks to the builders, Renovation Building Works for their great images.
