Norfolk Barn, Norfolk
A new home within an existing metal agricultural shed in rural Norfolk. High-level timber louvres cloak three of the elevations, presenting a series of calm and distinctly agricultural facades to the neighbouring houses and parish church. The fourth elevation opens up to long-ranging views of the surrounding countryside and reveals the concrete and timber structures within. A ‘silo’ staircase on the front elevation further evokes a building of agriculture and industry.
Internally a new concrete frame holds aloft a timber master suite – the tectonic character evokes the language of industrial plant appearing as a possible remnant of the barn’s previous use.
Norfolk Barn has been featured in The Architects’ Journal, Wallpaper, The RIBA Journal, The Times on Sunday, Architecture Today and Enki.
Norfolk Barn received an RIBA East Award and was featured on Channel 4’s House of the Year 2022.
