Wyches Barn

Ian converted an old tin-roof agricultural shed on the edge of Dartmoor into a sleek, light contemporary space.

Wyches Barn

Once this tin barn served for hay storage, stabling and various other agricultural uses. After years of disuse, the owner turned her eye to converting it into a new home. 

She wanted a light, easy-to-run space with good views and access to her land. She also wanted it to be stylish and contemporary - with both character and comfort. Retaining the barn's footprint, high ceilings and steel frame, AtelierHB re-designed it with straw bale and sheep's wool insulated walls and underfloor heating fuelled by an efficient air source heat pump.

Making the most of the views with a mix of openness and cozy spaces, the new Wyches Barn today is the perfect space for its owner to be.
