Witcher Crawford has completed a contemporary single-storey extension and refurbishment to a property in the South Downs National Park.

Adding to a portfolio of accessibility-focussed projects, the scheme adds much-needed physiotherapy and hydrotherapy facilities, and a comprehensive retrofit of the existing property to improve wheelchair access for the independent living of a disabled user.

The extension’s design adopts a utilitarian barn aesthetic, blending the functional requirements of the brief with a light-touch approach that references the rural character of the surrounding area, and as a result, achieving unanimous planning approval from the National Park Authority.
