This generous family home, set within an estate and surrounded by farmland, is a bold departure from the owner’s previous home. With so much emphasis on the natural surroundings – there are lucerne fields in the back garden – it was decided to opt for a contemporary design with sleek, clean lines. Glass, exposed timber beams, and vinyl flooring throughout ensure a modern, classic look. As the owner works from home, it was important to maintain a professional impression that complements the lush surroundings without appearing too austere. 

A monochrome palette, with selective touches of biophilic colour, enhances the uncluttered feel of the home. Combined, these elements create a soothing ambience of tranquillity and calm. From the striking, double-volume entrance with its imposing steel features, it is possible to see through the home to the swimming pool and even the river beyond.

The Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition is characterised by exclusive co-ordinated design elements. The inlays in the slats of the air intakes at the front bumper, the Porsche lettering in the LED rear light strip, the model designation at the rear, and the standard 21-inch RS Spyder Design wheels – reserved exclusively for the Platinum Edition – are all finished in a satin platinum colour. Sport tailpipes and side window trims in black add to the sporty, elegant look.
