Barn House

Set in the base of a former gravel pit, this build has a corrugated-steel roof and cladding, with aluminium windows, all of which combine to make the house look like a traditional Herefordshire barn from the road.

The modular-style, black barn home is hunkered down within a cutting, reducing its visual impact.

Built on the site of homeowner Stephanie’s grandparents’ farm, the house is the culmination of Stephanie’s 20-year quest to return to live in a place she’s loved since her childhood.

The trust the client had in Stolon was rewarded with a clever and architectural home, delivered at a modest budget, taking only nine months to build.

The project won three RIBA Awards, including Small Project of the Year.
