PAUL , TALK US THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS , BRIEF AND REALISATION AT LYDDEN HILLS
What can potential purchasers of the Lydden Hill development expect ?
What was the ambition for Lydden Hills interior design ?
This contemporary three-bedroom home was imagined by the architects to create a modern space and built to reflect this area of outstanding natural beauty on the edge of the North Downs . With its close proximity to the French borders , the development oozes cosmopolitan glamour and chic . A contemporary build in its construction the internal brief was to reflect the variety of the landscape and its tapestry of colours .
The overall scheme pays homage to the area ’ s natural tones of neutrals , golds , rusts and blues . This palette moves through the residence with a calm and fluid flow with the occasional bursts of strong , accent colours adding character and warmth to the interior . We loved the conversation between landscape and scheme . Our designers wanted to evoke a reflection of the scenery and translated this into the designs to create a warm , inviting and elegant home .
How did the location and the views influence the design ?
The North Downs has a rich and varied landscape . Its patchwork of green fields is flanked by towering chalk cliffs and circled by unspoilt beaches . We were commissioned to do the full interior design service for this home drawing on its surroundings of both nature and sea . The large family kitchen and living space has views over the expansive countryside but echoes the proximity to coastal living with reflections of the beaches washed clean by the tide and the myriad of colours from sea and sky . The colour scheme of gold , blues and dark woods create a luxurious feeling inspired by those of exclusive private beach clubs , the marble of the tables emulates the grey and silky nature of the pebbles on the beaches , and the artwork offers a reflection of the rugged white cliffs .
How did you go about zoning the living spaces ?
We wanted the ground floor to be a more informal layout for family living . The relaxed space is zoned with kitchen dining and lounge area . The large double bifold doors allow easy access to the garden as well as offering for an uninterrupted view of the surrounding landscape . The upper floor was designed with a more formal grown-up reception room with a quiet area for study and working from home . The beauty of this space is the upper terrace making the view of the surrounding countryside perfect to watch the sunset .
