Project Overview
Jane and Matt came to us with an exciting vision to transform Martlet Barn, a Class Q agricultural building, into a stunning family home. The project presented a unique challenge, requiring extensive remedial works to bring the barn up to modern standards while working within a tight budget.


After appointing a planning consultant to manage the project through the planning process and handle the initial design, they faced challenges with amendments post-planning and delays caused by conditions attached to the approval. Reflecting on the process, Jane and Matt commented, "We wish we’d known to hire an architect from the start. It would have saved time, avoided some of the complications, and ensured the design was better aligned with what we needed from the outset."


Appointed for the full technical design and tender process, we’ve worked closely with Jane and Matt to ensure every detail aligns with their vision while remaining cost-effective. A key part of the process has been collaborating with the contractor to deliver a design that balances practicality, functionality, and aesthetics. The result is a thoughtful proposal that honours the barn’s rural character while creating a comfortable, modern living space.

Kind words

"Ben understood our vision from the first design appointment, and his drawings took our lifestyle into full consideration. Arron and Ben have stayed in contact throughout the build, ensuring any amendments are in line with the aesthetic we want for our finished home. It would have been a lot more stressful without their help!" Oliver & Eloise
