COURT BARN

This stone house in Hutton was originally a Tithe Barn in around the mid-1700s so the spaces were deep. The challenge was opening them up and bringing natural light and more South sun into the heart of the house.

​

We reintroduced an original feature of the tithe barn that had previously fallen into disrepair and been removed in the form of a double volume entrance.

 

Since this was a contemporary reworking of an original feature, we have used a modern patterning of natural timber cladding to retain the natural material aesthetic but go for sustainable material that can break the heaviness of the large stone facades.
