Modern Farmstead with Timber-Clad 'Barn'

This beautiful property set in an amazing area with views overlooking the gorgeous lake below. Materiality is a primary part of the design intent featuring traditional materials in a not so traditional manner. Iroko cladding, natural slate tiles, and a sandstone patio are fused together in a contemporary design that blends into the rural landscape.
 
The timber-clad block to the rear, positioned at a slight angle, is designed to appear as a barn or ancillary building to the main rendered house, typical of a rural farmstead. Ensuring that the building sits nestling withing the stunning existing environment.
 
The two blocks are of course amalgamated by an Iroko-framed, glazed screen link to create this beautiful bespoke dwelling. The combination of traditional contemporary design working together in harmony to fulfil the brief set by the client. By having a more contemporary rear of the property the client will benefit from the large amounts of natural light provided by the glazing as well as the visual connection the outdoors beyond.
