"The project embodies qualities central to Bindloss Dawes' approach: agricultural architecture, contemporary design, and exemplary environmental performance."
A unique zero-carbon eco house was created from the adaptive reuse of a former tractor shed on the edge of the village of Nether Compton in Somerset. The design integrates agricultural architectural language with contemporary design strategies to achieve exemplary environmental performance. Reuse preserved rural character while delivering modern comforts through passive design measures, high insulation, airtightness, renewable energy systems, and low-impact materials that support net-zero operation. Spatial planning and detailing balance a sense of spaciousness with domestic intimacy. The project demonstrates how redundant farm buildings can be transformed into high-performance, sustainable dwellings that respect setting and heritage.
