Mannings Heath Hotel, traditional barn style extension to provide wedding venue

OUR INVOLVEMENT

Planning & Architecture

Project Outline

The clients brief centred on the need to ensure the viability of the hotel that had been vacant for a period of time. Ensuring a new purpose built addition for use as a wedding venue was essential for the long term future of the hotel. The design approach opted for a traditional Sussex barn vernacular that worked with the existing building and beautiful landscaped setting.
