New Build
Blending Bold Design with the Countryside
Brooks Barn is a striking Paragraph 84 (Para 55) house set within a 5-acre paddock in rural Horsham. The central design feature is an irregular two-storey building that blurs the boundaries between walls, soffits, and roof, creating a seamless and innovative architectural form. The design reinterprets traditional building elements in a visually compelling way. Collaborating with Squires Young Landscape Architecture, the project also introduces significant landscape and ecological enhancements, ensuring the house sits harmoniously within its natural surroundings. Horsham District Council granted delegated approval for the scheme in July 2015.
Structure
Manipulating conventional form
The form of the house is generated through a sculptural manipulation of three principle building elements on the adjacent stable building; Wall planes, roof planes and the eaves / fascia detail which sits between these two.
Natural Materials
We have used a palette of locally sourced materials so that the building blends into its natural environment.
