The original thatched mediaeval oak roof was destroyed by fire in the 1960s and replaced with a lightweight steel roof.
We designed and constructed the new oak frame roof, working closely with Barry Marmot of Marmot Associates (architects and project management), Paul Carpenter Associates (structural engineers) and Ian Coyne’s building team. We achieved the Highly Commended award in the Structural Category of the National Wood Awards, 2004.
The barn has been thoughtfully converted with a sensitive mix of contemporary lighting, heating and timber cladding systems that sit well with the traditional building materials and techniques employed by the restoration team.
