This project involved the sensitive transformation of a traditional Somerset farmstead into a bespoke artist’s studio for a highly accomplished artist and former President of the Royal Academy. Set within the rural landscape around Bruton, the design respects and preserves the barn’s original vernacular and stone façade, while delivering a light-filled, high-performance creative studio and workspace.

High levels of insulation and solar control work in harmony with the stone’s thermal mass to provide year-round comfort. The resulting project is a clear example of our ability to combine conservation, contemporary design and a carefully tailored fit-out into a single, coherent scheme.
