Replacement dwellings, Birkby, North Yorkshire

Commissioned in light of past success in gaining planning permission for a dwelling in the countryside, Logic were appointed to secure planning approval for two large executive homes as replacements for 3no. existing tired and uninhabitable farm workers cottages in Birkby North Yorkshire.

The Logic...

Working with the footprint of the existing dwellings, historically references, and a comprehensive precedent study of local agricultural buildings, a design evolved that attempted to create the illusion of a traditional farmhouse plus a series of outbuildings and barns that had been converted over time and then subsequently converted to form two bespoke large family homes. By orientating the second dwelling to the west, a garden was created to capitalise on the southerly aspect with far reaching views.
