dKO Architecture's vision for this space was to create a retreat nestled above the fracas of its inner-urban environment through the careful selection & placement of materials & finishes. The clients desire for entertaining and need for integrated storage and seating were all taken into consideration. The use of LICOM76 allowed for this rooftop terrace to be designed and constructed in small modular components, which were constructed off-site & then delivered to the project site for installation. All components were manufactured from LICOM76, lightweight concrete material, ideal for use in rooftops where weight is an issue. Elements: Elongated planter boxes, Feature wall with inbuilt planter boxes, cascading water feature, table with inbuilt planters, seating/storage

This new build Steamboat Springs hotel has an elevated level of luxury with a down-home vibe, so guests can feel welcome to stay awhile. With the ski mountain in view and minutes away from downtown shopping and dining, this hotel is a great option for a little bit of everything Steamboat has to offer. The main gathering areas inspire connections, relaxation and comfort, so we brought in color and soft textures for warmth, lit by modern fixtures and an ambient glow at the bar to set the mood. We incorporated touches of glamour through tile, lighting and upholstery with an overall casual feel, that is still inviting after a long day of skiing and on a Friday night, for an after-dinner hangout.

This was a double driveway gate. It had an aluminum frame and horizontal wood planks on the front. The home was Mediterranean style, so the homeowner chose a happy medium with the hardware and went with a black ring latch. There is a dummy handle on the other gate for a finished look. Photo by L.

The existing house was a one story brick house sitting atop a rockery on a hill in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. The clients needed more space for their family, so we kept the same footprint, remodeling the existing home and adding a second story and attic space. The steep pitch of the gable roof, the smaller roof over the front door, and the paneling are all nods to some of the Victorian homes in the neighborhood.

Contemporary Purple House Exterior 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary exterior architecture choices for your house designs.
