Perched on the crest of a hill in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Oxfordshire, the Twin Barns embrace the views while being set in and around walled gardens that extend the living areas into the outdoors.

The barns are oriented to maximize panoramic views across the surrounding countryside while maintaining a low, respectful profile that complements the natural environment. Large openings draw in natural light, while the choice of materials — weathered timber and local stone — further embed the buildings into their pastoral setting.

The courtyard serves as the heart of the home, providing a versatile outdoor living space that adapts to the changing seasons. Carefully considered landscaping enhances the sense of enclosure while preserving views to the distant hills. By combining traditional barn forms with refined, modern detailing, Twin Barns achieves a harmonious dialogue between the built environment and the land it inhabits.
