ABOUT THE PROJECT
These new offices were built on the location of an old farmyard in the heart of the Somerset countryside. With the
property having lain dormant and unused for years, the client decided to breathe life into it, using the footprint of the
original farm to create a modern and unique office space for an expanding, cutting-edge company. McIntosh DBR were
tasked with delivering the full package, from planning to completion.
THE CHALLENGE
Building on a vacant and dilapidated farmyard, this
particular project required careful consideration before
planning permission could be sought. The change of
use for the property needed to be validated and the new
scheme had to show genuine sympathy and respect for the
history of the existing buildings.
Obtaining planning permission, therefore, would not be
straightforward. A locally beneficial and environmentally
friendly scheme had to be considered for submission to the
local authority.

THE SOLUTION
We called on the services of a local planning consultant
and successfully acquired permission for the erection of a
high-quality, environmentally friendly office space. Design
duties for the external layouts were given to a young Dutch
architect based in London, and the interior design was
overseen by local and highly regarded Bath architects
Simon Morray-Jones.
Working together with our consultants and specialists,
we were able to turn the client’s vision into reality. The
final specification was exceptionally high, so every stage
of the construction process involved the finest materials
and most skilled craftsmen. The result is one of the most
luxurious and stunning office developments in the South
West, and a build that we’re immensely proud of.
