The living units are constructed using prefab modules, clad externally with timber panelling. The metal sheet roof of the barn reflects its utilitarian history, whilst the existing roof tiles were reused on the carriage house. The robust units, which range from 28 to 33 sq.m., all have individual kitchens and bathrooms. The farmyard is the main outdoor common space, and the old farmhouse contains common rooms and staff facilities.
