This barn conversion design combines black metal cladding with natural cedar, creating a strong yet balanced architectural statement. The black gives the building a crisp, contemporary edge and a clear barn like silhouette, while the cedar introduces warmth and texture, softening the overall form and grounding it within its rural setting. Large areas of glazing open the house out to the expansive garden and surrounding countryside, allowing the landscape to become part of the living experience. A modern interpretation of a traditional barn, simple, confident and designed to sit effortlessly within its setting. At the end of the video we show the barn from sunrise through to dusk, so the clients can see how the sun moves across the building and how natural light will fall on their home throughout the day, though this version is just a quick sped up, low res version just for Instagram purposes for a flyby of the 3D render James is currently working on.
