WRITINGS ON THE PROPERTY
"In this modern piece of architecture the Klaentschis have, with
some sophistication, again proved its validity. There is also a great
deal that is sustainable in their approach. When the profession
properly takes on the Rural White Paper prototypes like Long Barn will
surely be invaluable." Building Design, 2002
"Fashioned
from readily available materials it is an ingenious assembly of inner
spaces formed under one roof. The powerful influence of the vast
Salisbury Plain, its awe inspiring day and night skies, orientates Long
Barn in the manner of a compass needle, maximising shelter from
prevailing winds whilst seeking greatest exposure to all seasons.
Continuous roof glazing provides sunbeams, moonbeams and observation of
the night sky. Highly energy efficient it constantly reminds one
of one's place, position, enjoyment and responsibilities within the
larger scheme of life and inhabitation." Design for Homes, 2006
