Criteria: This contemporary ‘barn’ styled dwelling is an example of integrating modern style and materials such as zinc with the traditional barn form. The design provides a house filled with light and large glazed openings create a connection to the landscape in which it is situated. The shape of the house harks back to traditional rural farm barrel ‘Hay-shed’ buildings. The shape and scale are considered acceptable in terms of planning considerations and are an interesting contemporary design in this rural context.
