Eccleston, Chester: extension to an office in a converted barn

The brief 

A long term client of NWD Architects commissioned us to extend an existing office space located within a previously converted barn.

NWD's approach

The site is located in a tranquil meadow within a former quarry, which is surrounded with established trees. This provides excellent privacy for the barn whilst also defining its distinct views. NWD designed a new annex that is set at an angle to the original barn, linking the two buildings via a lightweight glazed structure.

The outcome

The new building respects the design and style of the barn, whilst introducing a modern interpretation of the existing form.
