Challenges

The brief.

Matching stone, coursing and mortar colour to a much older building so the extension read as part of the original farmhouse from every angle.

Outcome

The result.

The finished extension reads as if it has always been there — adding a bright, open living space without compromising the character of the original stone farmhouse.
