Entre singularité et intemporalité, il y a une fine ligne sur laquelle la résidence Pointe des Îles trouve son équilibre. Implantée dans une zone boisée, son corps principal est orienté de manière à avoir une vue directe sur la plage et le lac. Les deux ailes du rez-de-chaussée son liées par un passage vitré des murs au plancher : au bout de ce couloir invisible se trouve la spacieuse suite des maîtres, isolée des aires de vie pour une intimité accrue. Entre modernité et chaleur, prestance et sobriété, transparence et opacité, les contraires s’attirent et s’allient pour un résultat tout en finesse.

This exterior angle highlights the stunning architectural symmetry and material contrast that define the Garrick Lane home. Twin gable ends, each framed with Abodo vertical timber cladding and expansive glazing, create a striking visual rhythm while maximising natural light and outdoor connection. The deep matte black cladding adds modern boldness, beautifully offset by the warmth of the timber and the texture of the stacked stone columns. Sliding doors offer seamless flow from the living zones onto the wide timber deck, which wraps the home and sets the stage for future landscaping. The low-slung rooflines and recessed details demonstrate meticulous craftsmanship and a thoughtful approach to blending form with function. This outdoor view showcases how considered design can harmonise with the rural setting while delivering a sophisticated architectural impact.

Set within open countryside, this recently completed barn conversion demonstrates the charm and potential many modern agricultural buildings offer when converted to residential use. Like many smaller farms this building was located on a holding which has dramatically reduced its farming operation over the past 20 years, which in this instance has led to a number of agricultural buildings being surplus to requirements. We were appointed by the owner to help with re-purposing these buildings, and in this instance, it was considered that this building would be best used as a new residential building. The permitted development right to change the use of an agricultural building into a dwelling has been with us for some time now and with it the concept of changing rural, redundant barns into dwellings. This is a building which like so many, had it not been allowed to change use to a dwelling would have sat in the landscape largely redundant except for some very light agricultural storage use. The intention with this conversion was to retain the agricultural character of the building whilst providing a modern attractive home. Here we have used corrugated sheet metal to clad the building, a material which is common to modern agricultural buildings and inserted contemporary, glazed openings which accentuate the form the of the original building. The Class Q permitted development rights and Local Plan policies allow us to bring back into use our redundant agricultural buildings to provide modern attractive home which celebrate the changing nature of our countryside. They also go some way to addressing the nationwide push to build more homes, particularly in rural areas in a way that is more sustainable and architecturally provides an interesting design challenge.
