A subtle, contemporary extension to a protected, 16th-century farmhouse
The design bridges between old and new, providing a bright, open kitchen and living space to contrast the cosy spaces of the traditional farmhouse. A glass wall opens back fully, connecting the interior to the terraces of the decked courtyard, effectively doubling the usable space. The new entrance utilises contemporary materials, glass and steel, set against the granite of the courtyard wall, honestly expressing the old and the new.
