Barn conversion house / Tag

Hartdene Barns gathers nine new houses in Edenbridge, United Kingdom, where Nissen Richards Studio translates a once-derelict dairy farm into carbon-net-zero rural living. The development folds barn silhouettes, advanced fabric construction, and a rich material palette into luxury homes that retain the memory of agricultural life while committing to RIBA Climate Challenge 2025 criteria. Each dwelling treats landscape, structure, and finish as part of one precise, low-carbon vision.

Bedford Barn Renovation and Addition sits in Bedford, NY, United States, where SPG Architects transform a 19th-century outbuilding into a working part of family life. The house-scale conversion respects the barn’s landmark status while adding a compact, glass-lined wing that opens to fields and sky. What was once a utility building now supports gatherings with a deliberate balance of preservation and crisp contemporary work.
