Lynch Architects

The RIBA Journal observed that: "The building remains fundamentally a barn: while there are the architectural elements of the kitchen including the inserted fireplace, rooms only exist in subsidiary spaces or outbuildings. The scale is both domestic and awe inspiring. The clarity of thinking alongside the restrained use of materials brings meticulous detailing into focus... The jury was impressed by the care in conservation taken by all involved, but also enjoyed the contemporary interventions made without fear of undermining the quality of the original building. The final product is graceful, resolutely modern and a robust piece of enduring rural architecture."
