What looks like a traditional barn from the outside opens up into a thoroughly modern, free-flowing layout. The house has few walls and doors, and its double-height spaces are flooded with light.

“The design developed within unusually tight parameters due to town planning, timescale and budget,” says Kieran Hawkins, architectural director of Mailen Design. “It was fantastic for us that, despite these constraints, the clients were always very clear on what they wanted: a unique and delightful family home that’s open, full of light and crisply built, but in keeping with a rural English setting.”
