This Converted Barn in the English Countryside Stays True to its Historic Roots

The renovation honors the grand, cathedral-like proportions of the original barn. In addition to the "warm roof construction," sheep's wool insulates the outside walls, which are clad with larch timber. A biomass broiler, combined with a system that recirculates the warm air, further keeps the space feeling cozy despite its size. Polish concrete floors reflect the light that streams in from the existing skylights.
