Extraordinary House, London

A modern villa in the English countryside

Nearby London, a private residence of extraordinary dimensions it is surrounded by the green of the English countryside. In keeping with the” Green Belt”, the British urban growth control program, the architecture blends harmoniously with the landscape thanks to the low height of the volumes and the presence of large glass surfaces.

“We chose to live surrounded by nature, but without giving up the advantages of the city: the cultural ferment and social life of London are essential to our idea of well-being.”
Mr. Auday Tokatly

Owner of Hyatt Group, MR. Auday Tokatly has set the goal of combining his important professional commitments with the passion that, with his family, shares for nature. The solution is a residence equipped with every modern comfort, just 40 km far from the English metropolis.
