The client sought to develop the original farmhouse that had fallen into disrepair to rent to guests to provide an the experience of living on a working farm. The house hadn’t been occupied in several decades and had fallen into severe disrepair though it had “good bones”.
Specifically, the existing structure composed of an original 19Centrury hunting lodge built for the use of the former British landown Lord Landsdown. Which had been subsequently added to by the successive owners.
The project aims to reveal this history by exposing the character of original structure and juxtaposing and contrasting it to the subsequent additions. An effort was made to epress that original building massive stone walls for their quality while more willfully transforming the subsequent additions as shell elements transformed as need to adapt to the new program.
