In Brief Our client has occupied their mid-19th Century farm house in a small attractive village in Staffordshire for many years. As the family has grown and developed, their lifestyles and living patterns have changed. Although the existing property is particularly generous in terms of size and space, the family circumstances had changed, and they needed extra living space to accommodate older members of their family. The layout and shape of the farm house’s living accommodation didn’t provide the functional space for everyday modern family life. Their kitchen is located at the far end of the house, and, in fact it is furthest ground floor room away from the garden. This proves challenging for the family during the warmer, sunnier months when they wish to spend more time eating and drinking outdoors. The only access they have to the garden is from a gate at the rear of the property. The quickest way to get there is through the back door which leads onto their rear driveway. The family virtually need to scale the perimeter of the house to access their garden. The family would also like to comfortably welcome additional older family members to the household. Although their relatives want the security of being within the family hub they also want their own space, privacy and independence from the core of the family. We were appointed by our client to help them create a design solution that responds to the needs of the family, for now, and into the foreseeable future. In Context To the rear of the farmhouse our clients had still retained the red bricked historic bake house and granary barn. The family wanted to maximise the potential of the redundant building by converting it into a separate annex to accommodate their older relatives. They also sought a solution to accessing the back garden from the farmhouse. Our clients enjoy being in the garden and would like to be able to easily spend more time outside. The barn offers an ideal use of vacant space from which to create additional living accommodation that’s on the ground floor, independent, private, and yet it’s easy to access the hub of the family home. Our Approach The client’s home is in a small village in the Staffordshire countryside, within a conservation area. Their attractive mid-19th century red bricked farmhouse occupies a prominent corner position next to the church at the entrance to High Street. Its former farm buildings and yard have been sold for residential conversion and redevelopment but to the rear the farmhouse still retains its historic bake house with granary above. The barn is a two-storey red brick building with a clay tiled roof and the upper floor can still accessed by an external flight of stone steps. Over the years the bake house has only been used by the family for storage and needed some repairs. The barn's style is a great example which reflects the way that former farming activity was carried out back in the mid-19th Century. The new living space within the barn solves three problems in one. The empty barn provides the perfect space for developing extra en-suite, ground floor living accommodation for the family, creating additional flexible space on the first floor of the barn for the family’s hobbies. The conversion provides a to link the main farmhouse with barn, the garden and the drive way. It will also give a new lease of life back to the historic barn preserving and enhancing its originality. Design Approach Every element of the historical barns restoration was given careful consideration, to sensitively retain and restore the original character. The property has some significant features of heritage value all lending to its historical character. For example, to the rear of the barn there is an original beehive oven. Historical Gems A beehive oven is a type of oven that’s been used since the Middle Ages in Europe. It gets its name from its domed shape, which resembles that of an old-fashioned beehive. The oven is an extremely rare example and is a feature that our team and our clients wanted to restore and incorporate into the new design. The conservation officer was in favour of retaining the beehive oven to preserve it for future studies. Our clients also have a well in the front garden of the farmhouse. The old well is located exactly under the spot of the proposed new en-suite WC. We liaised with the conservation officer and they were happy for the well to be covered rather than preserved within the design. We discussed the possibility of making a feature of the well within the barn to our clients and made clear that highlighting the well would be costly in both time and money. The family had a budget and timescale to follow and they decided against incorporating the well within the new design. We ensured that the redundant well was properly assessed, before it could be infilled and capped with a reinforced concrete slab. Another aspect of the barn that we were all keen to preserve were the external granary steps and door. They are part of the building’s significance and character; their loss would weaken the character and heritage of the old granary barn. We ensured that the steps and door should be retained and repaired within the new design. It was imperative for clients and our team to retain the historical features that form the character and history of the building. The external stone steps and granary door complement the original design indicating the buildings former working purpose within the 19th Century farm complex. An experienced structural specialist was appointed to produce a structural report, to ensure all aspects of the building were sound prior to planning. Our team worked closely with the conservation officer to ensure that the project remained sensitive and sympathetic to the locality of the site and the existing buildings. Access Problems Solved Despite being in a Conservation Area, the conservation officer and the planners were happy with a seamless contemporary glazed link from the main farm to the granary barn. The new glazed link, not only brings a significant amount of light into the interior of the farmhouse, but also granary barn, creating an open and fluid area within the home, rather than it just being a corridor. The glazed hallway provides the family with direct access from the main farmhouse to the granary barn, and it opens outdirectly onto their garden space. The link to the barn changes the way that the family currently live for the better, creating flexibility in terms of direct access to the outside space and to the granary barn. Working Together We worked closely with the conservation officer to ensure that our initial design for the planned scheme was befitting of its place in the Conservation Area (and suited to a historic structure). It was our intention to create a modern and refreshing space which complements the original building. A close collaboration between the client, the conservation officer, the planners and our team has enabled us the deliver a design that retains as much of the working aesthetic of the buildings as possible. Local planners were keen to see the building converted to residential use to save it from disrepair, allowing the chance to create a unique home with significant original features, such as the beehive oven, the stone steps and the granary doors. We have sensitively and respectfully designed the barn incorporating new architecture with a sense of the old history from the existing buildings. This allows the current work to be interpreted as an additional thread to the historical context of the buildings, without affecting their character. The former barn has been sympathetically transformed inside and out, corresponding well with the historical significance of the immediate farm site and the local area. We’ve created a new sleek, contemporary glazed link for the family to the outside of their house, whilst developing additional living space that retains the historical core, ethos and detail of the building. In addition, the clients can also now take advantage of the unrivaled views of the church opposite, from the upper floor of the historic barn. Feeling inspired?

I built this on my property for my aging father who has some health issues. Handicap accessibility was a factor in design. His dream has always been to try retire to a cabin in the woods. This is what he got. It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a great room. It is 600 sqft of AC space. The footprint is 40' x 26' overall. The site was the former home of our pig pen. I only had to take 1 tree to make this work and I planted 3 in its place. The axis is set from root ball to root ball. The rear center is aligned with mean sunset and is visible across a wetland. The goal was to make the home feel like it was floating in the palms. The geometry had to simple and I didn't want it feeling heavy on the land so I cantilevered the structure beyond exposed foundation walls. My barn is nearby and it features old 1950's "S" corrugated metal panel walls. I used the same panel profile for my siding. I ran it vertical to match the barn, but also to balance the length of the structure and stretch the high point into the canopy, visually. The wood is all Southern Yellow Pine. This material came from clearing at the Babcock Ranch Development site. I ran it through the structure, end to end and horizontally, to create a seamless feel and to stretch the space. It worked. It feels MUCH bigger than it is. I milled the material to specific sizes in specific areas to create precise alignments. Floor starters align with base. Wall tops adjoin ceiling starters to create the illusion of a seamless board. All light fixtures, HVAC supports, cabinets, switches, outlets, are set specifically to wood joints. The front and rear porch wood has three different milling profiles so the hypotenuse on the ceilings, align with the walls, and yield an aligned deck board below. Yes, I over did it. It is spectacular in its detailing. That's the benefit of small spaces. Concrete counters and IKEA cabinets round out the conversation. For those who cannot live tiny, I offer the Tiny-ish House.

A wide view into the Hollywood Regency-inspired living room. The L-shaped sofa upholstered in textured grey-with-a-touch-of-brown is layered with soft throw pillows in pink mohair, pink velvets, and reflective golds, with a pink blanket over the end of the chaise long. The sofa tones with the grey painted walls and the grey and copper textured wallpaper on the feature wall behind the sofa. Two cerise/raspberry-red armchairs face the sofa and coffee table. A brass circular side table holds a white porcelain lamp on one side of the sofa. Dark wood floor planks underneath it all are easy to maintain and create an air of drama.

Uno de los criterios de partida fue conservar los materiales existentes en el espacio original y mantener el espíritu de la arquitectura tradicional del barrio del Cabanyal en la elección de los nuevos materiales. Los claros protagonistas son la gran puerta de entrada de madera, que se recupera, y el ladrillo original que envuelve el espacio y que destaca gracias a la iluminación indirecta incorporada. Los nuevos materiales, las bovedillas y pavimento de barro, las carpinterías de madera y el azulejo de color, que recuerda a las coloridas fachadas del barrio, armonizan con los materiales originales.

"Quando non ho più il rosso, metto il blu" Pablo Picasso diceva questa frase esattamente al contrario, in quanto rosso e blu sono colori vincenti, che nonostante non siano complementari funzionano, e anche molto bene. Per darvi un idea della loro forza, nel mercato dell’arte i quadri con colori rossi e blu sono molto più venduti di altri colori. Ma perchè vi parliamo di ciò? Il progetto che vi raccontiamo oggi è un Restyling terminato da qualche mese che ha visto come soggetto una Casa Vacanze. Il committente ci ha contattati in quanto necessitava aiuto nel dare carattere ed anima alla loro casa. Effettivamente l’ambiente nonostante fosse stato arredato con pezzi di Design anche molto interessanti, risultava molto piatto, con questa forte presenza del RAL Rosso Rubino utilizzato sia per alcuni elementi della cucina, che per battiscopa e porte interne. Dopo aver fatto un rilievo dell’intera abitazione tranne la zona bagno,aiutandoci con moodboard, CAD2D e modello 3D abbiamo mostrato al cliente il risultato finale, ovviamente step by step e valutando diverse soluzioni. Dopo averci affidato la direzione lavori abbiamo organizzato tutti i vari lavori da eseguire con le nostre maestranze di fiducia, risparmiando al cliente stress inutile. Non è stato lasciato nulla al caso, ogni dettaglio ed accessorio è stato scelto per dare forma all’ambiente: dal colore delle pareti, al rosso della parentesi di Flos, al tappeto in fibra di bamboo (che putroppo dalle foto non è visibile), al colore dei cuscini e dei comodini, fino alla carta da parati. Per non farci mancare niente abbiamo disegnato e realizzato su misura la libreria sopra la testiera del letto che ha anche funzione contenitiva oltre che estetica. Particolare attenzione è stata dedicata alle tende, in quanto siamo stati tra i primi ad aver usato un tessuto realizzato da Inkiosto Bianco come tenda a pannello; ovviamente in linea con tutto il resto. Il nostro lavoro non consiste solo nel creare ambienti nuovi o rivoluzionari totalmente tramite ristrutturazioni importanti, a volte ci capita anche di entrare nelle vostre cose solo per dargli quel tocco di carattere che ve la farà sentire cucita addosso come un vestito su misura.

リビングの吹き抜け。2階の窓も二面採光になっていて、日中は時間を問わずリビングに光を落としています。「夕方、陽が落ちるまで電気をつけることはないですね」と奥さま。あちこちにあたたかな陽だまりができています。「この吹き抜けは、リガードさんからの提案でした。2階の1部屋をなくしても、住まい全体で考えると、それ以上の広がりを感じられます。私たちの大好きな場所ですね」とKさまご夫妻。

Cet appartement à entièrement été créé et viabilisé à partir de combles vierges. Ces larges espaces sous combles étaient tellement vastes que j'ai pu y implanter deux appartements de type 2. Retrouvez son jumeau dans un tout autre style nommé NATURAL dans la catégorie projets. Pour la rénovation de cet appartement l'enjeu était d'optimiser les espaces tout en conservant le plus de charme et de cachet possible. J'ai donc sans hésité choisi de laisser les belles poutres de la charpente apparentes ainsi qu'un mur de brique existant que nous avons pris le soin de rénover. L'ajout d'une claustras sur mesure nous permet de distinguer le coin TV du coin repas. La large cuisine installée sous un plafond cathédrale nous offre de beaux et lumineux volumes : mission réussie pour les propriétaires qui souhaitaient proposer un logement sous pentes sans que leurs locataires se sentent oppressés !
