HBA have completed this 4no. bedroom private residential house, in the curtilage of a Listed farmhouse in Dorking, near Box Hill. 

​

The farmhouse and barns are situated within the Green Belt and on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

​

The existing barns have been 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 planted courtyard, 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.

​

Internally, the client wanted the rooms filled with natural light and a simple palette of materials. HBA have therefore located rooflights and windows carefully to provide light and framed views of the surrounding countryside with reveals lined with oak.
