Liddicoat & Goldhill transforms an 18th-century barn into an English countryside home
This video shows a barn in Kent, remodelled by Liddicoat & Goldhill to create a home featuring mechanically operated doors and a staircase that wraps around a chimney.
Named Ancient Party Barn, the house comprises a cluster of 18th century buildings that once functioned as a threshing barn, dairy and stables for a farm in rural Folkestone.
Architects David Liddicoat and Sophie Goldhill were tasked with transforming the buildings into a home for a couple who are avid collectors of architectural artefacts, and who were looking for a retreat from the city.
"Rather than demand specific spaces or programmes, their brief focused on materiality and atmosphere, and on creative re-use of the existing volumes," explained the architects, whose previous projects include their own black-brick home in London.
