How did you begin the development process for Lydden Hills ?
Lydden Hills is an exclusive new development in the North Downs . Lydden Hills ’ distinctive modern architecture offers thirty one 3- and 4-bedroom houses each benefiting from gardens and terraces . Homes have uninterrupted views of the rolling hills and are located just a few miles north of Dover with UK and international rail connections . After the planning application was successful we appointed PHL Carlton Design Partnership to produce the working drawings and they produced a number of changes . Architecture does more than shape the homes we live in , it allows us to reflect our taste and our own personal style . Of course , your home must first offer practical solutions for living . At Lydden Hills , these considerations are combined into a distinctive modern design statement .
What was your design / build timeframe ?
The scheme has taken some time to come to fruition , with COVID -19 and the complicated design resulting from the undulating topography we needed to ensure that the detail was developed before we started the build . As Charles Eames said , “ The details are not the details , they make the design .”
Where do you start with interior styling for a home that needs to appeal to a mix of buyers ?
By appointing one of London ’ s finest interior designers , Paul Dawson of Honky .
