Green Light for Green Barn
Hewitt Studios have recently gained planning consent for the conversion and extension of a redundant agricultural barn at Rushall Organics into a multipurpose events space. The space will act as facility for established rural pursuits such as shooting and fishing, as well as providing an education space from which to promote the farm’s unique ‘Organic’ story.
In line with the ethos of a fully organic farm, this responsible conversion aspires to be an exemplar ‘offgrid’ project, with a ‘zero-carbon’ heating target. The sensitive use of local agricultural building materials and a carefully considered landscape design, ensure that it is respectful of its surroundings, whilst allowing its users to enjoy the sublime hilltop location.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2016.
