London-based architects Hawkins\Brown have added two new structures to a cluster of farm buildings at Wysing Arts Centre in Bourn, Cambridgeshire. The courtyard now includes an artists’ studio block and reception area alongside an existing converted storage barn and former cow sheds.

The main studio block at the front of the site provides nine studios over two floors. The alternating rhythm of the full-height glazing and timber louvres on the front elevation replicates the timber structure of the adjacent building, a 17-century farmhouse.
