At Les Vaux house in St Brelade, a traditional Jersey granite pig sty became the starting point for a compact one-bedroom conversion.

A—NY secured planning permission to bring the building back into use, keeping the original granite walls and pitched roof while opening it up to more light and a stronger connection with the courtyard outside. The small footprint called for a simple, efficient plan, with living, dining and kitchen spaces brought together beneath the existing roof.

The conversion introduces a contemporary layer through natural materials and a calm palette, sitting comfortably alongside the granite and character of the original building.
