Project Info

This exquisite contemporary farmhouse is the centrepiece of a regeneration project that breathes new life into a previously derelict Cotswold farm.

Sitting amidst 100 acres of farmland, which has been newly planted with trees and wildflowers, this low-energy building has been designed to be visually seamless and integrated within its surrounding landscape.

Using a minimal material palette of timber and acid-etched concrete, the new farmhouse provides living accommodation and exhibition space, including a vast 12×36-metre column-free area.

Characterised by an entirely exposed structure, the project is a showcase of hybrid engineering as architectural design. The key unifying element of the structure is the innovative timber-concrete composite roof. Here, LVLroof beams have been combined with precast concrete planks to create an efficient and elegant roof solution with inherent thermal mass, designed to be easily demounted and reused.
