A 1920s tobacco barn turned into a light-filled live-work home with its original heavy timbers exposed.
We started by stabilising what was there: new footings under the old post bases, and a full structural survey of every beam. Only three of forty-two timbers had to be replaced.
New insulation sits inside the walls so the old siding stays on the outside. Steel-framed windows sit in the original vent openings.
Scope of works
- Structural survey and stabilisation
- Timber repairs and scarf joints
- Insulated wall build-up
- Steel-framed glazing
- Kitchen, bathrooms and mechanical systems
