Glass and Timber Extension Revamps 18th Century Farmstead in UK
Set in the confines of Dartmoor National Park, United Kingdom, the West Yard Farm in its latest avatar is a wonderful blend of the old and the new. Designed by Van Ellen + Sheryn, the stunning 18th century farmstead was refurbished and extended to accommodate the needs of a modern family. The new contemporary extension in timber and glass is at the heart of the project that aims to revitalize this historic structure, even while preserving its original aura and creating interiors that stay true to the rustic backdrop! Set in an idyllic 60-acre valley, the new building acts as a transitional zone between the original farmhouse and the converted bar.18th century Dartmoor farmstead revamped into contemporary family homeThe changeover from the old to the new is stark and yet seamless with the stone walls slowly giving way to large glass walls and a timber structure.

It is a beautiful blend of contrasting eras, with each offering something unique. With the latest addition housing the kitchen and the sitting zone, it is the original farmhouse that contains the living area and the bedrooms.RELATED: 17th Century British Cottage Gets a Glassy Modern ExtensionGorgeous brick wall provides a beautiful backdrop for contemporary kitchen in whiteClassic wood-burning fireplace for the dining roomContemporary extension of the or...
