| Summary |
"Andrew Ainslie is a dairy farmer, his wife Meryl is an artist who runs a gallery on their farm in Wiltshire. The farmhouse they live in has, over time, been cut off from their land by an expanding village, making it more time consuming for Andrew to look after his 200 dairy cows and farm. So Andrew and Meryl decide to build a new house in the heart of the farm. The house they build is far from traditional. It is constructed from engineered timber and has a barrel-shaped zinc roof, reminiscent of a Dutch barn. Inside functionality is mixed with high finish craftsmanship by local tradesmen. Meryl, keen to make her mark on the building, commissions local artisans to create a set of farm gates, a custom-made kitchen and a bespoke, handmade staircase, which is transported to Andrew and Meryl's property on the back of Andrew's tractor. Meryl and Andrew want a lot from this house. It has to look like a barn, function as a farmhouse and an art gallery, and do justice to the surrounding landscape." -- website |
