The Meadows

Situated in a livery yard between Bristol and Bath, the old derelict barn building was been sympathetically renovated into a contemporary dutch barn as an equestrian workers’ residential dwelling.

Located in a high-risk flood zone on a greenbelt, we used our specific knowledge of the planning issues around equestrian developments on greenbelt and flood zones to get through the planning hurdles. The final design is a modest but minimalist open-plan conversion which maximises the views out to the yard and beyond.
