Cambridge. It was much altered circa 1680, with the addition of a
symmetrical brick front, new roof and chimney stacks. Our late 20th

The Fruit Farm, Chittering, Cambridge.
The Fruit Farm Barn is a
traditional timber framed barn, built off a brick plinth, with 2
elegant braced collar trusses supporting purlins and the main slated
roof. The barn has two single storey additions.

 The South extension is planned as
the reception area, with a stair up into the main barn. The East
extension houses the plant and equipment room. The ground floor of
the main barn contains office space, a meeting room and a
commissioning area for hardware. The first floor is retained as open
plan offices.
The
existing barn was in poor condition, and all the masonry walls have
had to be renewed under the existing frame. The main frame members
and roof have been retained, but stud walls have needed replacing.
The new first floor is built off la loadbearing inner skin of fair
faced blockwork. We aimed to retain the main structure of the barn,
and the new openings in the structure, are small and fit between
studs. The area behind the barn doors on the east and west
elevations, becomes a full height glazed screen, but slide aside
barn doors are provided to the external elevation, to close over the
glazed doors.
