The double-height wall of windows in the living room looks out on the property and was a big draw on their first walk-through.
The small window has been replaced with a large glazed door, and the original fireplace has been restored and reinstated.
The entry between the living room and dining room was widened.
The built-in sofa anchors the living room and faces the existing fireplace. The Leather Oval Chair with a red steel base sits off to the side, and the coffee table was fashioned by attaching vintage steel legs to another tile sample board.
Plenty of natural light comes in via the rear glass wall.

Built in wood shelving sits below clerestory windows, opposite a large brick fireplace with a sculptural chute.  Expansive windows provide views of the Bay beyond.
Subverting the traditional, conservatively cozy British barn conversion, Carl Turner created a getaway in rural Norfolk for himself and his friends to visit, repose, and consider the beauty of agrarian minimalism.

The solution, surprisingly, was eBay, turning up an old mill’s worth of boards.
