2 Nestled amongst the trees, old and new collide to create three breathtaking feats of architecture in the Copper Barns. Award-winning architects McGarry-Moon have skilfully fused old and new technologies to create sustainable, rural homes that are designed for the 21st century; homes that whilst referencing the original black stone farmsteads have been dramatically reimagined to create award winning living spaces. Although each dwelling is completely unique, they share the same architectural language and use a blend of salvaged stone, rheinzink, sustainable timber and glass to create contemporary homes that sit comfortably within their rural setting. The Copper Barns are truly unique living spaces that are both striking yet subtle in appearance, never detracting from the original stone barns on which they are set.

Known as the Garden Village of Ulster, the beautiful village of Broughshane is not only home to some of the best floral displays in the country; it also has a good selection of local shops, restaurants and pubs, and is just three miles away from the larger town of Ballymena.
