架构师提供的文本描述。我们客户的简短建议是同情地将现代开放式设计融入原始二级上市谷仓的信封内，在开放式客厅和隐蔽的主卧室套房之间毫不费力地连接起来，而不降低谷仓拱形空间的高度和体积。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief from our client was to sympathetically integrate a contemporary open design within the envelope of the original Grade II Listed Barn with an effortless connection between the open plan living area and the secluded master bedroom suite without detracting from the height and volume of the vaulted spaces of the barn.

谷仓改造简介的第二个关键要素是如何设计入口。在大多数谷仓改造中，你会发现给建筑自己独特的入口带来了困难，因为你在处理原来的开口，而这些往往是建筑物两侧的大开口。

The second key element for the barn conversion brief was how to design the entrance. With most barn conversions you find giving the building its own distinct entrance difficult because you're working with the original openings and these tend to be large openings to the sides of the building.

提供开放的规划起居区与隐蔽的主卧室套房之间的毫不费力的连接。一个浮动楼梯和画廊是设计和详细的安德森或伙伴关系与螺旋楼梯。

To provide the effortless connection between the open plan living area and the secluded master bedroom suite. A floating staircase and gallery was designed and detailed by The Anderson Orr Partnership in conjunction with Spiral Stairs.

在主入口处，已经存在一个单层单元。安德森·奥尔合伙公司和客户都认为，我们可以利用这一元素作为入口处，打开屋顶，用玻璃和插入的吊舱，整齐地容纳公用设施和衣帽间。现在被创造出来的东西给了即将到来的来访者一种到达的感觉，也让他们对内在的期望产生了一种想法。

For the principle entrance a single storey element already existed. Both The Anderson Orr Partnership and the client felt we could utilise this element for the entrance by opening up the roof with glazing and inserting a pod which neatly houses the utility and cloakroom. What has been created now gives the approaching visitor a sense of arrival and an idea of what can be expected inside.

到谷仓后部的一半以上的建筑物被降下地下，以确保两层可以容纳在谷仓现有的信封内。此外，原有的支座和石墙都经过了敏感的修复和重建，原来的屋顶也已失修，有些地方倒塌了。木匠橡木

More than half the building to the rear section of the barn was lowered into the ground to ensure two storeys could be accommodated within the existing envelope of the barn. In addition the original buttress and stone walls were sensitively repaired and rebuilt, the original roof had also fallen to disrepair and in places collapsed. Carpenter Oak & Woodland were employed to sensitively repair the roof using traditional techniques with the finished composition clearly demonstrating how traditional building methods can effectively complement contemporary modern lines.
