Lower Farm Barns – private swimming pool
Client: Private Client
Status: Completion September 2008
This Chilterns residence comprises two grade two listed buildings and two new, oak framed out-buildings. The heart of the project is the insertion of a new pool house which links the listed farm house and the barn in which the client lives, and provides a gym, wine store and study facilities as well as the swimming pool.
In plan a sweeping curve, the building is a fusion of the traditional and the contemporary. With curved glass walls, undulating thatched roof and stainless steel pool, the building is an imaginative yet considered response. Exterior landscaping includes a stone paved barbeque and patio area that wraps around the plan of the pool house.
The practice was appointed as Architect post planning approval and this project demonstrates our ability to successfully realise complex buildings.
