Kelly Suffron-Keay:

“The home showcases a fusion of modern country house style, harmonizing contemporary lines with classic elements, evoking a "Tom Ford in the Country" aesthetic.”

Who says sports courts can’t be both visually striking and thoughtfully integrated into the landscape? A pickle ball court sits nestled into a verdant backdrop of planting at Southlands Estate project.

The main residence and barn feature pitched roofs, large stone cladding, and expansive windows, while the interior exudes a more modern aesthetic with rich velvet furnishings, striking lighting and sleek concrete floors. 

Kelly Suffron-Keay:

“Our main objective was to harmonise the house with the landscape, in particular by integrating the links between the interior and exterior spaces.“

Precisely curated outdoor spaces mirror the same meticulousness as the interiors, blending finishes, functionality, and artistic touches. The exterior areas feature inviting lounges with bars and kitchens, complemented by welcoming fire pits and carefully placed sculptures.

Paul Sangha:

“We strive to craft a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, inviting your view to stretch beyond the glass, seamlessly merging the garden with your interior ambiance.”

Paul Sangha:

“Lighting contributes significantly to this harmonious fusion, emphasizing ground-oriented illumination to imbue the garden with a serene ambiance. Selective uplighting accentuates specific elements, such as sculptures, for added emphasis.”
