Starfall Farm

Somerset

Alterations and additions to Starfall Farm were highly constrained by restrictive green belt policies and an extremely conservative planning committee. The client had deemed the existing 1960s extension must stay, and the key strategy was to find a material language that allowed the unusualness of the existing building to be enhanced, whilst also wrapping seamlessly round a new extension. There is complete transparency where you cook, with sliding glass screens that disappear into the walls allowing a sense of the valley side to run through the site and allow you to feel as if you are cooking outside but then other openings are more selective.
