The existing front porch was renovated on this 1938 home to give a modern feel with cedar panelling on the inside and black aluminium on the outside surfaces. Black accents add a contemporary touch to this classic Kitchener brick two-storey. Maintenance free landscaping with black mulch and attractive plantings compliment this home renovation.

The brief for this project was to extend a small Bradstone bungalow and inject some architectural interest and contemporary detailing. Sitting on a sloping site in Mere, the property enjoys spectacular views across to Shaftesbury to the South. The opportunity was taken to extend upwards and exploit the views with upside-down living. Constructed using timber frame with Cedar cladding, the first floor is one open-plan space accommodating Kitchen, Dining and Living areas, with ground floor re-arranged to modernise Bedrooms and en-suite facilities. The south end opens fully on to a cantilevered balcony to maximise summer G&T potential!

This is a French-Country-inspired 3,500sf custom-designed house on the homeowners' existing 50' wide lot. They always had a detached garage, and wanted to maintain that with the new construction, so a new front-loading detached garage was added at the rear of the property. The brick and stone accents on the the front elevation, and as a base on all sides, provides a cohesive design element, while allowing for overhangs, nooks, and gables in siding above.

Nestled into a private culdesac in Cordillera Ranch, this classic traditional home struts a timeless elegance that rivals any other surrounding properties. Designed by Jim Terrian, this residence focuses more on those who live a more relaxed lifestyle with specialty rooms for Arts & Crafts and an in-home exercise studio. Native Texas limestone is tastefully blended with a light hand trowel stucco and is highlighted by a 5 blend concrete tile roof. Wood windows, linear styled fireplaces and specialty wall finishes create warmth throughout the residence. The luxurious Master bath features a shower/tub combination that is the largest wet area that we have ever built. Outdoor you will find an in-ground hot tub on the back lawn providing long range Texas Hill Country views and offers tranquility after a long day of play on the Cordillera Ranch Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course.

Natural wood siding creates a warm glow at twilight, as the family dog awaits visitors. Kangaroo Paws create a beautiful sculptural effect against the concrete and wood wall, as concrete planters mimic the arrangement of the walkways.

Black House Exterior with a Brown Roof Ideas and Designs

With so much attention devoted to interior design, the exterior of a home can often get overlooked, but as the first thing that welcomes both us and our guests, it is worth devoting some time tending to the outside of your house. Furthermore, focusing on the kerb appeal of your home can add significant value if and when it comes time to sell up. Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian homes, with their bay windows and elegant plasterwork, often benefit from built in architecture advantages, but even if your house design is unassuming from the outside, small decorative and structural improvements to the exterior of your home can equal huge impact. Key areas of building design to focus on are the front door, the driveway or approach to your home, the porch area, the windows, the facade and the roof. And just a note of caution... before any significant exterior architecture gets under way, check first whether you need planning permission for your exterior house designs– this applies particularly to listed houses or buildings in a conservation area, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Take a look through the house designs, exterior architecture and images of front doors and driveways on Houzz to inspire your facade or building design, or read on for a few more pointers when it comes to redesigning your exterior.

How do I give my home an exterior facelift?

You may feel like your home’s exterior architecture is unalterable but there are a wide range of options available to improve its external building design, no matter what raw materials you begin with. Begin with the front door and the pathway or driveway that lead up to your home as these are easy to improve without huge budgets. A driveway or pathway must be kept neat and tidy and you can consider replacing tarmac with attractive tiles or gravel. Repainting or replacing the fence, wall or gate that fronts your home can also offer an overnight transformation without breaking the bank. An area to not cut corners however is the front door, where spending a little extra can make a huge difference in quality, and painting it in a colour you love will pay you back every time it welcomes you home! Updating your windows can be a significant building design project but it is one that has benefits both inside and out, as well as potentially saving you money on energy later. If you are lucky enough to have period windows such as bay windows with sash or leaded windows, then maintaining them should be a top priority, but if they are beyond repair then there are plenty of window professionals that will offer modern, double or triple glazed equivalents that could still work in your bay window. Working with uPVC? Not a problem – the best improvement you can make is to ensure your windows are the right size and shape for your home's overall proportions.

How do I update my home’s facade?

When it comes to updating the facade of your home, painting is the quickest and most affordable way to achieve a makeover, and if you opt for a colour other than white it can really make a statement (although sticking within the palette of your road and local area is advisable). A makeover that requires a bit more patience but can add romance and character to the most mundane of homes is to adorn the walls with climbing plants – delicate trailing wisteria is ever a British favourite, whilst roses and jasmine offer fragrance as well as beauty. If you’re looking to make more significant changes to the exterior of your home, whether that is adding timber cladding, hanging tiles, installing a bay window or rendering, then you should first check whether your house designs require planning permission. A New England style wood boarded home is beautiful and bright, but remember that it will need frequent repainting if it is going to stay looking its best, whilst stucco render or Tyrolean render can tidy up a home's exterior but think carefully before covering over original brickwork.

What should I consider if building a home from scratch?

If you’re working with an architect on a brand new build, the options are endless when it comes to deciding on the exterior architecture. But first things first, you will need to check planning permissions, building regulations and local restrictions, such as being in a conservation area, to make sure your plans for your exterior house designs will meet stipulations. If you are building in a street with predominantly Victorian facades, with bay windows and side returns, you might need to ensure your house designs fit in with the rest of the homes on the street, but if you’re building in a more remote area you’ll probably have more freedom for your building design. There are many architectural decisions to make, do you want a flat, gabled, hipped, mansard or perhaps even a curved roof? Do you want bay windows? Crittall windows? Perhaps external shutters? Do you want glass walls? Do you want wood cladding? Do you want a very symmetrical building design or something more contemporary? The decision is all yours but remember to consider the benefits of various materials over others and the effects that some architecture styles will have on everyday life, for example glass walls will look attractive but will give you less privacy. Your architect or builder will be able to guide you through the best exterior architecture choices for your house designs.
