Wraxall Yard is one of six projects shortlisted for the Stirling Prize
The 19th-century agricultural buildings of Wraxall Yard in Dorset were completely overhauled by London-based Clementine Blakemore Architects, which turned them into a group of five accessible holiday homes as well as a community space and workshop.
Clementine Blakemore Architects founder Clementine Blakemore explained that accessibility was a key part of the design from the initial concept. "The client for the project, Nick Reid, had personal experience through his mother who had multiple sclerosis, of the challenges for people in wheelchairs or with a range of disabilities in finding attractive, comfortable, fully inclusive holiday accommodation," explained Clementine Blakemore in the video.
