01/01

Ridgeway Barn

LOCATION: HAMPSHIRE

BRIEF:

· Solve impractical conversion blunders by previous architects, including an upper floor with too little headroom to be usable

· Gain planning permission and listed building consent for amended design to provide more headroom

· Improve the internal layout and spaces as a practical family home

· Design a structural and energy efficient replacement barn home

· Include sustainable low-carbon technologies discretely

HIGHLIGHTS:

· Manage substantial design changes including dropping the level of the ground floor by almost 1m using a s.73 variation application and further listed building consent

· Discrete green tech included ‘invisible’ PV solar slates and an air source heat pump under a lean-to roof

· Introduced an exciting bridge linking the bedrooms across the vaulted space and saving on a second stair

· Introduced better placed windows for enjoying the wonder views and ventilation

· Gained planning permission for a sizeable garage/workshop as a part of phase 2
