A remarkable turn of events helps a retired couple build a home for themselves in their greatest moment of need
Briefly

Francine and Stephen faced significant challenges in their quest to build a new accessible home due to health issues and planning permission obstacles. After years of living in an unsuitable bungalow, their fortune changed when they connected with the architects at Studio Bark. This collaboration resulted in the creation of a single-storey eco-home specifically designed for their needs, incorporating accessibility features and a low-carbon footprint. Eventually, they realized their dream of downsizing while remaining in their cherished rural area.
But everyone we approached told us there was absolutely no chance of getting planning permission to build on our agricultural land - it was so frustrating.
A meeting with innovative architects, Studio Bark, changed everything. Radical in its approach, the practice always aims to challenge the norm, and in this case, had some clever solutions in mind.
