award for Customer Satisfaction, we are committed to the happiness of our customers, providing support at every step.

“ A HOME IS MADE OF HOPES AND DREAMS”

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.

The bold lines of Lydden Hills are the work of Proctor & Matthews, London, an architectural practice which has established a reputation for distinctive contemporary homes in London and across Southern England. Their design brief was to create a fresh, modern style informed by the agricultural structures of the Kent countryside.
This exciting project also involved PHL Carlton Design Partnership, who did a meticulous job of finalising the working drawings. The result is a striking new aesthetic based around a palette of cool muted greys, where detail and proportion combine to deliver a sense of place.
