Award-winning design & build
The Classic Barn Company stands out with its innovative architectural approach to creating luxury oak garage complexes and barn buildings at rural homes around the English countryside. Imagine having a stunning space that showcases your private car collection and adds an attractive barn building that enhances your property.
Their award-winning designs are architecturally led and supported by a planning service that’s handled at the consultancy level, offering a perfect showroom for you to store and show off your car collection. These structures are crafted with exceptional attention to detail to provide an intelligent solution that delivers a secure space where clearances are considered for each vehicle. Investing in a luxury private barn complex from The Classic Barn Company is not just about storage, it is about a practical solution by creating a unique building for your car collection.
Personalised showroom designs
Each project deserves a unique touch, and The Classic Barn Company truly understands this principle. Unlike other oak-framed providers that mass-produce modular designs, each garage or barn is crafted specifically to the client’s brief and tailored to the characteristics of their home and the plot. Furthermore, the interiors are designed with the same design principles.
This approach not only ensures that the luxury private showroom reflects your personal style, but it also adheres to planning regulations. With their experienced team’s understanding of planning feasibility for these garage complexes, you can be assured that every aspect will be thoughtfully considered while the arduous task of submitting the planning application is taken care of, reducing the stress and workload of the client.
Car lifts
When it comes to building a luxury oak-framed garage or barn buildings for private car collections, intelligent space planning is key. Having ample room for multiple cars without compromise is supported by their design solution called Extrawide. Their innovative designs incorporate car lifts, also known as scissor lifts, which maximize your garage’s potential. These lifts allow you to stack vehicles, freeing up floor space for other uses. By choosing intelligent space planning, you can present the vehicles in a showroom environment that may also be beneficial for those dabbling in trading their car collections. Investing in a solution that brings both practicality and unique style to your private car collection opens a world of possibilities.
Vehicle Security
In today’s world, ensuring the safety of your home is more crucial than ever. Installing heightened security systems can provide peace of mind and protection for your private vehicle collection. With state-of-the-art biometric systems, you can ensure that only authorized individuals can access your garage accommodation space. Coupling that with advanced alarm systems that alert you at the first sign of trouble can prevent potential threats before they escalate. High-definition cameras allow you to monitor your premises in real-time, keeping watch and protecting your private showroom even when you’re not there.
The material of a building plays a crucial role in its security; robust hardwood or automated doors and reinforced walls make it significantly harder to break in. While being designed to appear as a subordinate oak barn, this acts as a powerful combination to deterrent against intruders. This simple strategic advantage doesn’t draw attention to the private car collections that may lie within.
By blending in with the surroundings, the structure can deter potential threats who may overlook it as a target. This thoughtful design choice not only enhances security but also preserves the charm of the environment, making the building an unassuming part of the landscape while ensuring safety.
This means that the building can adapt to various needs, keeping the exterior safe and unremarkable while still allowing versatility for the occupants. To add a touch of innovation, they have designed privacy solutions where the building can be transformed with concealed doors and glazing on occasions where the cars are to be seen from the outside. Such balance is a smart investment for any security-minded owner who wishes to transform the building on occasions when the luxury cars can be seen from the outside.
Humidity & Temperature Control
The design of a building prioritizes comfort and protection, catering to the unique needs of different spaces. For instance, when designing a private showroom building, classic car leather often requires a mid-range temperature to preserve the integrity of the vehicle’s fabric. Balancing this with areas such as entertainment spaces, which need full heating for guest comfort, showcases the company’s thoughtful approach to design. By implementing temperature control systems that adjust based on the use of each space, The Classic Barn Company attains both luxury and practicality to enhance the overall experience inside the building.
Architectural Lighting
Director Andrew Guppy speaks highly of continuing the design experience into the building, stating:
Imagine stepping into a luxury showroom garage where the car is not just a vehicle but presented in the same manner as an art piece. With intelligent deployment of illumination into the design, you can frame the car in the same manner as an exquisite sculpture in a gallery. The versatility of multiple lighting settings allows us to create an enchanting atmosphere, softly highlighting the curves and shiny surfaces of each vehicle. This gentle illumination evokes a sense of mystery and drama, inviting viewers to appreciate the artistry of automotive design.

One of the examples featured here incorporates a reception area, as you arrive in the barn the vehicles are slightly illuminated to one side through glazed walling, as you explore the private showroom spaces, the lighting shifts dramatically. With a simple change of settings, individual cars become fully illuminated, revealing every detail, every gleaming finish, and every innovative feature. This transformation enhances the viewer’s experience, making the classic car collection come to life in a way that engages the senses.
By integrating dynamic lighting, we ensure that each visitor feels captivated—not just by the car itself but by the entire environment that celebrates its beauty.

Bar & Lounge Spaces
All of The Classic Barn Company’s luxury garages are unique, no two showroom buildings are the same. One popular feature in larger complex buildings is incorporating lounge and entertainment areas within the private showroom space. Having a bar in this luxurious space is an excellent way to welcome guests or potential buyers when vehicles are being sold, transforming your garage from a storage area into a social hub. This unique combination creates an inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot for gatherings or relaxation. By incorporating a bar and lounge area, you’ll transform your private car showroom into the ultimate signature building, blending style, functionality, and leisure all in one place.
Room Above Garages
Your private showroom can include a room above which can be designed for various uses, an opportunity for homeowners seeking extra guest or staff accommodation separate from the privacy of the main house. The same design and build ethos is performed in these luxury accommodation spaces, a unique space that offers a perfect getaway for guests seeking comfort and serenity.
Being able to invite friends and family to stay in a beautifully designed room that features rustic oak beams, cozy furnishings, and stunning views of the countryside is a bonus. By turning your garage complex into a guest accommodation, you create a warm, inviting atmosphere that everyone will adore. This spacious area lets guests unwind and connect with nature while providing modern comforts.
Some of their clients have used this space as an Airbnb rental, which is a fantastic investment in your property. Not only does it generate extra income, but it also makes your home more appealing to visitors looking for a unique stay. Your room above the garage can provide a unique experience that surpasses local hotel stays.
Your guests could get to enjoy their morning coffee on a small balcony, soaking in the peaceful surroundings after a restful night. With thoughtful décor and comfortable amenities, this room can quickly become a luxury destination for travellers seeking a memorable escape from their daily routine. The warm, inviting atmosphere encourages relaxation and fun, making guests eager to return.
Other uses can include a home office, gym or even a private studio. This design maximizes your property’s potential while maintaining an attractive aesthetic. The warmth of oak not only enhances the appeal. With effective insulation and natural light, you can create a functional space that adds value to your home and enriches your lifestyle. Investing in such a versatile room above your garage truly is a smart choice – A fine example is featured here in this video.
