RENDERS

Terming themselves as modernist traditionalists, the clients desired a contemporary design based on a farm house or barn. This L-shaped family home consists of North facing, open plan living spaces, anchored by a generous cook’s kitchen with a breakfast nook for daily meals. A separate TV lounge is located to the West of the kitchen, while East facing bedrooms are located in a separate Northern wing, connected by a bay window for reading and contemplating life whilst taking in the picturesque views.
