Barn Conversion, Coleraine

Architect: Conor McKenna 

The existing vernacular farm outbuilding had suffered extensive structural cracking with walls out of plumb. The majority of the existing random rubble walls were saved by stitching cracks using propietary stainless steel rods, and providing a new concrete eaves ring beam to limit outward spread of the walls at roof level. A new steel framed roof was provided to give the new building a vaulted ceiling.
