A Barn Conversion

One of the reasons I do love browsing Pinterest, is to get the opportunity to learn to know a lot of interesting architectural and interior design companies worldwide.

One of the companies I really would like to introduce to you today is McLaren.Excell.

Established in 2010, McLaren.Excell is an ambitious and energetic design-led, London based architecture practice, co-directed by Luke McLaren and Robert Excell.

Working primarily on private residential and commercial projects, both architects are driven by their genuine passion for good design.

They strive to deliver well-crafted and conceptually clear buildings and interiors.

Every project of McLaren.Excell is unique. The architects create a distinctive aesthetic that is contemporary in its proportions and detail while drawing on a language of craftsmanship and understanding of materials.

One of the remarkable McLaren.Excell projects is the conversion of a barn in Oxfordshire into a unique and comfortable living home.

The building is taken back to the bare elements of the barn’s agricultural origins.

The architects opted for a limited palette of sober materials to ensure a sense of consistency and calm throughout the building : white-oiled oak, Bath limestone, Italian basalt and natural fibre floor coverings.
