With the birdcage coming down, our curtilage Listed barn in Cambridge is beginning to reveal itself once more, as we convert from outbuilding and squash court to family home.

Ceilings, lighting drops, fans and sprinkler systems are all installed. Windows arriving tomorrow.

This spacious first floor provides two dramatic, bridge-linked, double height living areas, with continuous rooflights in the purlin zone and sharp beech ply detailing to new openings, in pronounced contrast to exposed and raw historic fabric.

Flooded with natural light and pared back in detail, it should be the perfect backdrop for our client’s artworks.

The project will soon be fully weathertight, and ready to enter the final stages. Thanks to local Contractor Arnold & Willis for their ongoing efforts and collaborative approach.
