a development of new ‘eco’ dwellings within the village of baulking in oxfordshire.

designs sought to marry a modern appearance with traditional forms, providing individuality yet cohesion with a distinct architectural thread.

to respond to this, it was proposed to utilise familiar building elements and materials that are carefully composed to reflect agricultural form and style.

unit 1 is designed to appear reminiscent of a typical farm house arrangement, comprised of two separate block forms: the original brick and timber ‘working long barn’ and the new rendered ‘formal farm house’.

the design of unit 2 similarly seeks to appear as a typical farm style ‘long barn’ with a modern interpretation of traditional vernacular architecture and language.
