T his large magnificent Edwardian property in the picturesque English Surrey Hills dates from 1901 and while it is firmly rooted in the English Arts and Crafts movement it has an intriguing feel of The Hamptons about it. The current owners turned to MPD London and Creative Director Maurizio Pellizzoni to bring an upscale American look to the 10,000 square metre house that incorporated the many personal antiques and objets d’art they had collected during their travels. Working closely with the architect to ensure space was used to maximum effect, MPD extended the original building adding a new double-height formal room, orangery, three extra bathrooms and walk-in wardrobe for the master bedroom. LEFT: In the double height hallway, the heart of the house connecting all rooms together, the bookcase and the table are from Ralph Lauren Home, scattered cushions on the bay window are from de Le Cuona and the window seat is made using Ralph Lauren Home fabrics. The rug, a vintage piece, was sourced in Italy, while the lantern above the centre table is Charles Edwards. The blue and white vases on the centre table and above the bookcase are available at the MPD shop TOP: This is the main entrance to the property, the door was custom made for this project, painted black with gold leaf details on the large metal studs. The door knobs, as all the ironmongery in the house, are from Charles Edwards. The hallway table was also custom made for this project and now part of the MPD collection, available at the MPD shop.
