Modern Barn

Glazed Views to the Sea in Dorset

A three-bedroom Modern New Build Home on the Jurassic Coast offering stunning Sea views. The design features Luxury Barn-Style Architecture that enhances the Landscape and creates a Design-Led topographical layout for enjoyable Movement inside.

Situated on a sloped plot in Dorset, UK, the Modern Barn is a sustainable, luxury home offering stunning coastal views. Comprising three single-storey buildings, this modern home replaces an old house and features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, and a generous communal living area. The structures, wrapped in larch timber, are carefully arranged to integrate with the landscape while offering both unity and autonomy for the occupants. The use of timber extends to the interior, creating a warm, tactile environment that harmonises with the panoramic views. The design incorporates large terraces for indoor/outdoor living and a beautifully designed garden, including a bamboo yurt for guests to sleep under the stars. Designed with passive solar principles, the home optimises natural light and ventilation, embodying an eco-friendly and design-focused approach to contemporary coastal living.

Light : A Journey

Immersed in natural light, the core circulation area of the Modern Barn offers a design-led illuminated experience. As one descends to the living area, visual perspectives expand – to the east and west, scenic exteriors come into view, and above, the sky unfolds in a captivating spectacle. This spatial journey culminates in the living area, where a stunning, unobstructed panorama of the southern landscape offers residents an ever-changing backdrop of natural beauty to appreciate and enjoy.

Craft : Untreated Larch

The Modern Barn is designed using sustainable, environmentally friendly, locally sourced limestone and untreated larch cladding. This durable combination is ideal for the harsh coastal environment. Over time, the larch naturally weathers to a silvery tone, complementing the surrounding landscape, while the robust stone base provides a contrasting modern touch, anchoring the house to the hillside with eco-friendly elegance.
