THE CLASSIC BARN

SUFFOLK | ARTS & CRAFT BARN

Seven years in the making, this distinctive oak-framed home represents a landmark collaboration between PJT Design and Oakwrights. Following two planning refusals and a dismissed appeal, the introduction of the National Planning Policy Framework in 2012 provided the opportunity to revisit the proposals, ultimately securing committee approval in 2014. Drawing inspiration from traditional Suffolk barns and Arts and Crafts architecture, the design combines expressive oak framing, weatherboarded elevations, dramatic glazing and carefully considered contemporary living spaces. A celebrated example of enduring architectural design, achieved through determination, collaboration and a changing planning landscape.
