Nestled on the northern Wiltshire side of the Limpley Stoke valley near Bath, the project was to create a fantastic new large family home on the site of an existing dilapidated dwelling.

Nick Shipp Architects have been involved in a development of new ‘eco’ dwellings within the village of Baulking in Oxfordshire.

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

Therefore, it was proposed to utilise familiar building elements and materials that are carefully composed.

Unit 1 has been 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.
