Wraxall Yard是多塞特郡的一个经过精心修复的奶牛场，提供包容性的度假住宿、社区空间、工作室和教育性的小农场。该场地是西多塞特AONB（杰出自然风景区）内250英亩有机农场的一部分，该农场正在向再生农业系统过渡。在每个人都应该有机会接触农业和野生动物的信念的驱动下，项目简介要求对这个废弃的场地进行雄心勃勃的改造，在不影响现有建筑的独特历史和农业特征的情况下，提供示范性的可访问性和可持续性标准。
Wraxall Yard is a sensitively restored dairy farm in Dorset offering inclusive holiday accommodation, a community space, a workshop, and an educational smallholding. The site forms part of a 250-acre organic farm within the West Dorset AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), which is transitioning to a regenerative agricultural system. Driven by the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to engage with farming and wildlife, the brief called for an ambitious renovation of the derelict site that would provide exemplary standards of accessibility and sustainability, without compromising the unique historic and agricultural character of the existing buildings.
完成后的方案可以作为五个独立的度假屋或整个场地出租，其中包括社区空间的使用。自2022年7月作为非营利的社区利益公司开业以来，大约60%的预订是为有残疾成员的家庭提供的。在与当地慈善机构绿岛信托的合作中，它们将在未来一年被用来为当地的残疾人提供一系列的支持性假期。
The completed scheme is available to rent either as five individual holiday lets or as a whole site, which includes the use of the community space. Since it opened as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company in July 2022, roughly 60% of the bookings have been for families with disabled members. In partnership with local charity Green Island Trust, they will be used in the coming year to provide a series of supported holidays to local people living with a disability.
该社区空间还被免费提供给一些活动，如为孤立无援的老人举办的聚会，本月还将与多塞特国家自然保护区（Dorset AONB）一起启动一项志愿者计划，作为让有精神健康和/或成瘾问题的年轻人参与乡村活动的一部分。
The community space has also been offered free of charge for events such as gatherings for isolated elderly people, and this month a volunteer scheme is being launched with the Dorset AONB as part of a drive to get young people with mental health and/or addiction issues engaged in the countryside.
尽可能地保留了原有的建筑结构，并使其暴露在外，由熟练的工匠使用再生材料进行维修和改造，同时使用天然衍生的低碳产品，如软木和木纤维绝缘。现有的开口被重新利用，大面积的玻璃被木制窗框分割，以过滤阳光并创造隐私。
As much as possible the original building fabric was retained and left exposed, with repairs and alterations carried out by skilled craftspeople using reclaimed materials, alongside naturally derived, low-carbon products such as cork and wood fiber insulation. Existing openings have been reused, with large expanses of glazing subdivided by timber mullions to filter sunlight and create privacy.
在院子里，通过一个非正式的树木和灌木结构，也可以过滤掉视野。这个平静、封闭的空间通过木板路与更广阔的景观相连，在这里实施了一些环境措施，如引进野生蜜蜂和创建林地牧场。
Within the courtyard, views are also filtered through an informal structure of trees and shrubs. This calm, enclosed space is connected to the wider landscape via a Boardwalk, where a number of environmental measures have been implemented such as the introduction of wild honey bees and the creation of woodland pasture.
除了与无障碍环境中心密切合作外，CBA还与残疾人进行了设计咨询，以更好地了解他们的经历，并尽可能优雅地满足他们的需求。这里没有为轮椅使用者提供特殊的路线、坡道或扶手；相反，这里的地形和路径布局被设计成缓缓倾斜的通道。在内部，有宽敞的转弯圈、视觉对比、无障碍高度的开关，以及为听力不好的人提供的振动火灾警报器。
In addition to working closely with the Centre for Accessible Environments, CBA held design consultations with disabled people to better understand their experiences, and accommodate their needs as elegantly as possible. There are no special routes, ramps, or handrails for wheelchair users; instead, the topography and layout of the pathways have been designed to create gently sloping access. Internally, there are generous turning circles, visual contrasts, switches at an accessible height, and vibrating fire alarms for those hard of hearing.
为了避免给人以制度化的感觉，浴室和厨房都有一些特点，如带集成扶手的水槽、升降台和天花板升降器。翻新后的荷兰谷仓为所有游客提供了与农场动物安全互动的机会。通过这些方式，建筑的修复已经成为一系列整体的社会和环境努力的催化剂，旨在改善人们的生活质量和自然世界。
Carefully specified to avoid feeling institutional, bathrooms and kitchens have features such as sinks with integrated grab handles, rise and fall worktops, and ceiling hoists. The renovated Dutch Barn provides opportunities for all visitors to safely interact with farm animals. In these ways, the restoration of the buildings has been a catalyst for a series of holistic social and environmental endeavours aiming to improve people’s quality of life and the natural world.
