Construction has started on our project in Kensington Conservation Area. The project combines a careful combination of refurbishment, restoration, and an extension.

Redhill Barn has been included in Homes For Our Time, Contemporary Houses Around The World published by TASCHEN!

Site#1 is the first artwork from ‘On site’, a series of installations in London by the urban art duo ROBOCOOP! Installed at one of our on-going projects in north London, the artwork draws inspiration from paintings of construction sites such as St Leopold Inspecting the construction of Klosterneuburg Abbey (Rueland Frueauf The Younger, 1505). We’re looking forward to exploring the intersection of photography, painting, and architecture with ROBOCOOP on future projects.

Restoration of a Grade II* listed barn in Devon is underway. Layers of timber structure have been exposed spanning from the 14th to 20th centuries.

TYPE have secured planning permission for a listed barn in Devon. The project is a rural retreat in Devon inside the shell of a listed linhay, a type of farm building found in Devon and Somerset. Due to the sensitive natural habitat, we’ve designed louvred timber screens to limit any impact on light-sensitive species. Working closely with an ecologist we’ve designed openings to limit external light levels while also allowing natural daylight inside and making the most of the valley views.

TYPE are excited to have been granted planning permission for the conversion and extension of this 16th century barn. Our proposed addition of a courtyard wing will enable the surviving shell of the late medieval threshing barn to be reinstated as one large open plan space. The materials of the new wing combine stone, timber and sheet metal, referencing the C20th agricultural vernacular.

TYPE have won an AIA UK Design Award 2021 in the Emerging Practice category. Built in 1810 and long since overgrown by nature, the south Devon barn, which originally housed cattle and stored grain, has been lovingly transformed into a contemporary home. The jury praised the project for “the way that the team had taken a roofless ruined stone barn that looked beyond repair and made it into a spectacular farmhouse. Great deal of thought had gone into longevity and adaptability of the project. It’s a beautiful reuse of a derelict building and maybe even more impressive as it’s a self-built project and in that sense, it’s a real labour of love. The jury were very impressed with the attention to detail of every aspect of the project and the honest distinction between what is old and new.” Award submissions were judged on the AIA’s 10 measures and their frameworks for design excellence which seek to inspire sustainable, resilient and inclusive design.
