Barn Conversions

At BDS Architecture, we offer comprehensive architectural design services for barn conversions, transforming unused or outdated structures into beautiful, functional living spaces. Our team of experienced designers works closely with clients to develop personalised solutions that blend the rustic charm of the original barn with the modern comforts of a contemporary home.

From the initial consultation to understand your vision, we carry out thorough feasibility studies to assess the potential of the building and ensure compliance with local planning regulations. We specialise in crafting bespoke designs that respect the barn’s original architecture while optimising space, light, and functionality. Throughout the project, we provide expert guidance on materials, sustainability, and building techniques to create a conversion that not only looks stunning but also stands the test of time.


This barn was derelict and has been beautifully restored working to the layout designed by BDS Architecture Ltd. Two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper floor with spacious living on the ground floor. The barn is set next to the Shipley canal and Jim and his wife and dogs are very happy there!

This beautiful old barn served it’s life for many years as a hayloft! BDS Architecture Ltd designed an internal structural layout to make this barn a home for a local Derbyshire couple. Lovingly renovated over some time when it would have been easier to demolish the building, the project has come to fruition and the results are simply stunning!…
