Old Barn at Downton

Downton, Hampshire

Outline Permission had been gained for the conversion of this old barn to a two storey dwelling.  We were employed to produce a detailed design.

The barn did not have sufficient height to accommodate two storeys; and so we persuaded the local authority that the roof needed to be raised, and the pitch increased.

A unique feature of the orignal barn is its radiused connecting walls.  We inserted an octagon in the middle of the building, allowing the curved walls to be exhibited internally whilst producing a sensational

two-storey galleried

entrance.
