Rodney Barn Refurbishment.

ArchiPro Project Summary - A charming barn refurbishment in Rodney, transforming an old structure into a versatile space for a cooking school, movie nights, and children's activities, featuring warm interiors with durable, cost-effective plywood finishes.

Title:: Barn refurbishment, Rodney
Manufacturers and Supplier:: Bates Surfaces
Category:: Residential

This old Rodney barn had the perfect bones for a multipurpose space – a seasonal cooking school, movie night venue or rainy-day retreat for the kids.

Interior designer Sonya Cotter was briefed for a warm and inviting interior that would stand up to knocks and be easy to clean. ‘Plywood offers the character of timber more cost-effectively, and it suits the barn-style interior. The prefinished UV-cured surface has a wonderful satin finish and adds a real lustre.’

Sonya selected the Naturally Naked birch panel for the two side walls and the ceiling planes, picking out the barn’s triangular profile in the black-stained Double Trouble.

PlyPlay panels are prefinished with a UV-cured coating – a finish more durable than its equivalents, neater than non-factory coatings, and solvent-free for no smell in the factory or on-site. Panels are supplied with a protective film, which allows work on the boards without scratching the surface.
