Greenacres Barn
This project showcases the transformation of an existing barn into a modern, stylish home through a thoughtful conversion, refurbishment, and extension. The design retains the original charm of the barn while incorporating contemporary elements to create a comfortable and functional living space.
Exterior Design:
The barn's exterior features sleek black timber cladding that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding greenery. Large windows and doors seamlessly connect the interior spaces to the garden, flooding the home with natural light. The pitched rooflines retain the traditional barn character while giving it a modern edge. This balance between rustic charm and contemporary design allows the building to blend harmoniously with its rural setting.
Interior Spaces:
Open Plan Living: This space combines traditional elements with modern functionality. Crisp white cabinetry is paired with brass hardware, while a dark, textured backsplash adds depth and contrast. The exposed timber beams, painted white, enhance the airy feel of the space, and a central island provides both workspace and seating, perfect for casual dining.
Bedroom: The bedroom design is a calming blend of natural textures and a neutral color palette. A large window offers tranquil views of the garden, bringing the outdoors in. Exposed beams with integrated lighting highlight the room's vaulted ceiling, adding a touch of craftsmanship and warmth to the space. The soft, earthy tones of the walls and the herringbone wood flooring complete the inviting, serene atmosphere.
Extension & Layout:
The new extension perfectly complements the original barn structure, using matching materials and rooflines. Inside, the open-plan layout connects the living areas seamlessly, creating a spacious and airy environment. Natural light fills every corner, and the use of natural materials like stone floors and wooden accents adds warmth and character throughout.
