This 300 year old listed thatched barn was restored and converted to make workshops for chair restorers and willow furniture makers, and also as a residence.
It received Listed building permission and was implemented with a programme of self-build using local salvaged and recycled materials as well as specially sources narrow brocks, oak window fames. It was rethatched, partly rebuilt with new flint walls and floored internally with traditional clay ‘pamments’.
At Church Barn, Ridlington Norfolk:
we used recycled bricks, and timber from demolished structures. We involved a local craftsman (woven willow boundary fences – osiers grown by the client and harvested with the help of the architects!)
