Hauser & Wirth, Somerset
Durslade Farm

Hauser & Wirth Somerset is a pioneering world-class gallery and multi-purpose arts centre based in Bruton, Somerset. benjamin+beauchamp architects were appointed to adapt these historic farm buildings to their new uses but to retain their fabric and the character of what makes the site unique. The historic buildings have been carefully repaired with attention to retaining features and details of the working farm buildings. The new buildings are distinctly modern and constructed of brick walls and zinc roofs with concrete colonnades sitting comfortably beside the existing structures. The result is a soft intervention.
