Work to existing buildings, conversions, extensions, refurbishment: (see also 'extensions' under the main menu) In this barn conversion we have retained the sense of space that is so characteristic of the original buildings. This one was derelict and in a state of collapse until work started. Design: Nick The former pub had been closed for some time, after ceasing to function as a hotel some years earlier. The upper floors and stables to the rear were converted into houses and apartments, with a commercial use on the ground floor. When converting a building into flats with a ground floor commercial use, the original stair that rose in the centre had to be replaced at ground floor level. A new extension and stairwell was built for the communal stair leading to the flats above, illuminated by top-light, and giving a comfortable and well proportioned entrance for residents. Design: Nick This is the conversion of a former stables into a three bedroomed house. It sits in a secluded spot, set back from the street, behind other houses. Design: Nick Back to top
