Remodelling and renovation of a former presbytery, later used as a school canteen before being transformed into a family home.

This project involved the renovation of a longere which although habitable was in need of bringing up to modern day living standards. Along with re-planning the interior to provide larger living areas and bedrooms a large new stone fireplace was designed and constructed as a centre piece to the lounge to accommodate a wood burner. The building was completely insulated to contemporary standards and all the external windows and doors were replaced with double glazed units in a style to match the original.

The brief for this project was to take an old agricultural corrugated tin hangar and create an attractive and functional garage, store and covered recreation area. At the same time retaining and using the original wooden frame structure. The structure was re-partitioned and a first floor created. Sliding doors were fitted, the walls clad with Western Red Cedar and a zinc roof added. A covered swimming pool and a tennis court were then constructed on the site to compliment the whole complex.
