Conversions
We have carried out many residential conversions and remodels throughout the UK and will be putting up photos of many more schemes here soon. For now, here are two of our favourites.
At Home Farm we were posed with a typical problem facing many barn conversions. Due to the narrow width of the building, all rooms interconnected with each other. To get to the bedrooms you had to enter the lounge, pass through the kitchen and then the utility. There was a lack of circulation space.
