THE PROJECT

The Barn is a modern contemporary family

home in a tranquil coastal setting in rural
Hampshire. The brief was to design a
low-energy replacement building, with
increased energy efficiency, designed
in keeping with its unique setting and
the local surroundings, embracing the
remarkable site.
The single-storey building is designed
sensitively in its massing, incorporating
natural materials that blend it into the
site and reduce the impact of the new
home on its surroundings. It is orientated
to take advantage of solar gain, while
increasing the privacy of the dwelling and
maintaining connection to the stunning
location and coastal views. Key influences
on the design were the architecture of
local agricultural buildings, the nature of
the exposed coastal site, and the stringent
local planning requirements. Proportions,
materiality and the fenestration of local
farm buildings were carefully studied,
inspiring a contemporary design that
is sympathetic to the surrounding
agricultural aesthetic, ensuring The Barn
sits comfortably in its location.

ARCHITECT’S CHOICES

The selected materials were chosen to

reflect the local context and to provide a
balance of contemporary and traditional
aesthetic as desired by the client. The
buff brickwork connects the building into
the historical precedents of the area but
also the geological make-up of the site,
which supported a Victorian brickworks.
The roof’s timber cladding to aims to
blend the building into the surrounding
tree canopies, reducing the visual impact
on surrounding properties. A specialist
Nicholson fixing supports the timber roof
cladding above a single-ply membrane,
creating the desired aesthetic.

SPECIFICATION

Materials incorporated in the design

are appropriate for the coastal
setting, selected to enhance the fluid TYPICAL WALL WITH WANEY-EDGE FIN DETAIL PLAN
relationship between the interior
and exterior, and also a sympathetic Timber cladding
response to the particular ambience of
Counter battens
the place. The exterior is clad entirely in
recycled (from another barn) wide timber Battens

boards, including the roof and decking.

The re-used wood brings a unique and Celotex GA4000 insulation
rich patina to the scheme. An innovative
detail is incorporated in the north and
south gables, with full-height waney- Thermalite Hi-Strength 7
edge Douglas fir boards positioned Aircrete blockwork

end-on, like a row of fins jutting out from

the building. These help blur the edge
of the building into the surrounding
natural landscape.
The pale brick plinth to the base picks Timber fin
up the colour of historic brickwork made
from the local clay. The cladding is cut

away to reveal the brickwork around
the main entrance and the chimney is Gutex Multitherm wood
detailed in the same brick, which, in fibre insulation
combination with the plinth, helps to
firmly anchor the building within its
setting and becomes a textured focal
point in the living room internally.
