Souldern
Brief
Old barns are commonly converted into living spaces; the use of contemporary designs mixed with the old creates a modern twist.
Solution
This project consisted of a freestanding mezzanine floor structure within the existing stone walls. Access to the floor was gained via stairs constructed with box section stringers, oak treads and glass risers. Toughened and laminated glass balustrade with a side mounted stainless steel handrail was fixed to the support steel via slab nose fixings.
A bridge with a 39mm triple laminated glass floor provided the link between the two upstairs living areas allowing light from above to filter through.
