Huntington House

In Association with Taylor Cox Architects:

The client's brief was simple - to take a 2,000 ft2 semi detached property which sat awkwardly on its plot and to design a property, which ultimately maximised the value of the plot. The net result is a property of circa 20,000ft2 with an end value in the region of £15m.

Although this is a new build property, there are clear influences from Regency properties as well as French architecture.

The property has been considered from every single aspect and the internal flow of the rooms is what sets this property apart. There are curved walls, niches and many other key features that punctuate corridors, lead you around corners, draw you into rooms and allow you to enjoy spaces in a way that many other properties miss. It has been considered from a family’s perspective, with perfect form and function for life with children but also with an area that offers a complete change of pace and is ready for the ultimate adult party.

The cathedral-like scale of the property when you walk through the front door is jaw dropping and filled with light from the domed roof lantern, as a first impression it is simply incredible. The eye is drawn in every direction, not least through the hall and out beyond the dining room to the beautiful views of the golf course.

One of the most critical design features for us was to keep the garaging and services facilities out of sight from the main house. Uber, along with the structural engineers and landscape architects, put a great deal of effort into creating a sweeping driveway that passed through the landscape to a large under ground garage that could take many catering vehicles whilst having absolutely no visual impact on the house itself.
