Located in Northamptonshire, Conduit Barn is an ongoing high-quality residential project involving the sensitive conversion and extension of an existing agricultural barn into a single luxury family residence. Oracle Architects were appointed to lead the architectural design and technical coordination from detailed design through to construction delivery.
The proposal retains and enhances the character of the original barn while introducing a carefully considered single-storey extension, allowing the building to better accommodate modern family living. The overall composition will extend across three floors, providing a varied and dynamic internal arrangement while maintaining a cohesive external form.
The design approach balances the authenticity of the existing rural structure with contemporary interventions that improve spatial quality, natural light, and circulation. The new extension is conceived to sit comfortably within the existing architectural language, ensuring a seamless transition between old and new fabric.
Internally, the dwelling is arranged to deliver generous and flexible living accommodation, including open-plan family spaces, well-proportioned bedrooms, and enhanced circulation across all levels. Careful attention is given to material selection and detailing, reinforcing a sense of quality and craftsmanship throughout.
Once complete, Conduit Barn will provide a distinctive three-storey family home that successfully integrates heritage structure with modern living requirements, delivering a refined rural residence defined by architectural clarity and high-quality construction.
