DESIGN

Every project begins in 3D. We design fully modelled environments that allow our clients to experience their spaces through photo-realistic visualisations and cinematic walkthroughs, we eliminate guesswork, accelerate approvals and ensure every detail is right.

A major focus of our design expertise is the intelligent repurposing of underutilised agricultural buildings. We breathe new life into barns, farmsteads and rural structures — preserving heritage where it matters while reimagining the architecture for modern use. Whether the ambition is commercial, residential or community-focused, we approach each conversion with sensitivity, innovation and purpose.

Every design is grounded in buildability, sustainability and long-term viability — and delivered with the realism and precision only true 3D design can provide.

PLANNING

We manage the entire planning journey on your behalf — from initial strategy through to approval. Our team liaises directly with local councils and oversees all procurement and coordination of supporting studies required to accompany the application, ensuring every element is robust and aligned with planning policy.

Once submitted, we actively monitor the progress of your application, maintaining close communication with planning officers and promptly addressing any queries raised by the council, consultees, or third parties. Our proactive approach helps to minimise delays and ensure the best possible outcome for your project.

DELIVERY

Once planning approval is confirmed, we continue to support you through the delivery phase to ensure a smooth transition into construction. Our team will coordinate the discharge of any planning conditions as required, managing any liaison with the local authority on your behalf.

We can prepare full Building Regulation drawings and work directly with structural engineers and other specialist consultants to obtain all necessary technical input. In addition, we can assist in sourcing and gathering competitive quotations from reputable builders, helping you move forward with confidence into the build stage with a fully coordinated and informed team.

We cannot recommend Iain and Phil at Barnhaus highly enough! After two previous planning refusals from other architects, we were feeling frustrated and unsure if our barn conversion would ever get approved. From the very start, Iain and Phil brought incredible expertise, creativity, and determination to the project. They carefully navigated the planning process, addressing every concern with clarity and professionalism, and ultimately secured planning approval where others had failed.

Their knowledge, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding. They truly listened to our vision, guided us expertly, and made what seemed impossible entirely achievable. If you want architects who combine technical skill with dedication and a can-do attitude,
