Accessible Barn Conversion, Northumberland

Nestled on the edge of the Northumberland countryside, this large barn serves as the setting for a unique holiday rental. Combining agricultural charm with a modern design is exciting, but what sets this apart from the rest is how the design caters to a broader community with its accessible features.

Accessibility is an important aspect of building design that often gets overlooked, but giving it a prominent role was essential to create a sense of inclusivity. Careful consideration of the interior design has ensured that every room remains warm and homely, avoiding the feeling of a healthcare institution.

What makes this place unique isn’t just the design, but also the construction method. Our friends over at Moduloft have helped turn the vision into reality with their modular building techniques, constructing the frame in their factory and delivering it on-site. The entire process has caught the attention of Channel 4, so keep an eye out for us on “Impossible Builds,” where you can gain insight into the ins and outs of the project.

If you have a project in mind, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’ll be happy discuss your ideas and ambitions.
