谷仓位于历史悠久的Colston Bassett村，坐落在Colston Bassett保护区内。现有的房子占地2200平方米，即23,680平方英尺的地块上，有一个欢迎的车道和壮观的后花园。

The barn sits within the historic village of Colston Bassett and is sited within the Colston Bassett Conservation Area.The existing house sits on a 2,200 sqm (23,680 sqft) plot, with a welcoming driveway and spectacular rear garden.

Manea Kella被指定改造现有的破旧车库和车道后部的马厩区。 设计方案要求为客户的大家庭提供额外的住所，同时也作为一个容器来存放大量的书籍和艺术品。宁静的乡村环境使其成为远离城市生活的理想场所。

Manea Kella were appointed to transform the existing run-down garage and stabling block to the rear of the site’s driveway.The brief asked for additional accommodation for the client’s extended family which would also serve as a container for a wide collection of books and art.The tranquil, rural surroundings make this an ideal retreat from urban life.

在其基本形状和开口方面，新建筑与原始结构相呼应。 现有的屋顶已被全部拆除，一个由花旗松制成的新的木质框架现在横跨新房子的整个长度。

In its basic shape and openings, the new building echoes the original structure.The existing roof has been wholly removed and a new timber frame made from Douglas fir now spans the entire length of the new house.

这就形成了一组相互连接的空间，有的小，有的两层高，在紧凑的规划中创造了一种体积和光线的感觉。 传统的建筑技术和廉价的材料被用来确保建筑预算能够得到满足。 扩建部分的设计是由新房子与花园的关系以及对外面成熟树木的看法决定的。

This has resulted in a set of interconnected spaces, some small, some double-height, which create a sense of volume and light in a compact plan.Traditional construction techniques and inexpensive materials were used to ensure that the construction budget could be met.The design of the extension was determined by the new house’s relationship with the garden and views towards the mature trees beyond.

在内部，该空间有一个充满光线的客厅和餐厅，与一个半开放式的厨房相连。 整个内部空间的细木工制品是由花旗松制成的，以配合新的屋顶结构，该结构具有明显的椽子。 整个室内一贯使用的木材提供了温暖、质感和魅力。

Internally, the space hosts a light filled living and dining area that connects to a semi-open plan kitchen.The joinery throughout the internal spaces is made from Douglas fir in order to match the new roof structure, which features expressed rafters.The consistent use of wood throughout the interiors offers warmth, texture and charm.
