The Long Barn

A hundred metres of agricultural frame, made habitable.

The Long Barn across open farmland

The house

Amagi kept the barn as one volume and inserted the accommodation as four freestanding timber boxes, none of which touch the original trusses. You read the whole hundred metres from either end.

The insertions are demountable. In principle the barn could be returned to a barn in a month, and the planning consent was granted on that basis.

Where it is

Larkfield

Open farmland, big plots, and no view — so the houses look inward.
