Barn conversion is a specialist’s job and you should hand this responsibility over to a renowned and experienced barn conversion architect. While converting a barn into a residence, we need to maintain the original essence of structure while infusing newer styles and required features into it. As barn conversion mostly handles historic structures, which among others have high ceiling, we need to step out of a routine construction plan and get creative. Materials like bricks, oak and flints are commonly used for this.
Secondly, a barn is often an integral part of the house and we can't give it a completely independent style. We would sit with our clients several times to finalise a design. The objective of this design would be to retain the original ‘barn’ appearance of the house while getting it revitalised.
Finally, comes the modern amenities. Who would, in today's age and time, want to live without the modern facilities! Thus, we need to build all these features and facilities into the converted barns, without, again, hurting the integrity. For example, the modern centralised heating system or modern electric insulation would be needed by most.
We are well aware of the building planning and regulations, maintain a great relation with the local authorities, so we really know how to get our designs approved. However, we love to play it safe and always do a feasibility survey to check whether the proposed design would meet the local authority's requirements or not.
