This mid-century modern conversion by bespoke prop

This mid-century modern conversion by bespoke property consultant @thehouselift has floor to ceiling glazing to take advantage of its fabulous views. High levels of insulation and high performance windows keep the building warm and comfortable as the light fades on wintery evenings.

A small, stone field barn has been sensitively converted into a small holiday home in a secluded location. The design sought to retain the simplicity of the barn while providing high quality accommodation, and being located at the top of one of the tallest hills for miles around, affords the most fantastic views.

The location of this collaboration project is such that it benefits from an expansive south westerly view. The remodelled interior ensures that there is a constant connection with it, here demonstrated through a central corridor running the length of the building.

We recently undertook a collaborative project with the creative talent @thehouselift. With an eye for spotting the potential for a building, we worked with Annie to create this modern, stylish and sustainable home in Oxfordshire. Annie is a perfectionist and the end result is testament to her tireless attention to detail.

We’ve received planning permission!
A modern building with very high energy performance levels, the walls will be lime washed stone which play with local vernacular. A timber mullion feature window to take in the view is repeated at the entrance to break up the facade. The building is slightly elevated to take as much advantage of the views as possible - believe us, it’s good!

We have recently received planning permission to simplify and enhance a collection of farm buildings which had been subject to a series of piecemeal changes over the years.
Our scheme seeks to bring cohesion but flexibility back to the site.
Key aspects include a greenhouse and potting shed to respond to the clients keen interest in gardening and growing their own produce.
Along with the replacement of an existing barn which is in a poor state of repair. It will be carefully demolished salvaging as many of the materials as possible for reuse.
