HBA have designed this private residential house, in the curtilage of a Listed farmhouse in Dorking. 

​

The existing barns are being reconfigured with new-build link buildings to connect them. This new link acts as a modern cloister defining a new central courtyard and a sensitive new extension helps to enclose this new space.

​

The main ground floor living spaces all open out onto this external space, linking the inside with the outside in this rural setting.

​

The black-stained larch cladding is set out horizontally on the historic volumes and vertically on the modern extensions to make the new interventions legible.
