cat hill barn | Snook Architects

Cat Hill Barn is the complete renovation and refurbishment of a previously dilapidated grade II listed barn in South Yorkshire. Originally built in the late 1700's as agricultural storage for the neighbouring Cat Hill Hall, the building in recent years stood neglected and was at the point of complete ruin. Snook have secured the existing structure of the barn with a new internal steel framework and re built the previously collapsing roof. The project has attempted to retain much of the working aesthetic of the barn utilizing a stripped down utilitarian palette of material. Planning of the project also concentrated on creating drama within the existing structure by focusing on the tension and release formed between constricted single height spaces and the double height volume of the barn. walkover light
