Will Calhoun - photo This was a tired, worn down property with fading details from better days. A garage, spa, entry addition was added and the balance of the home was upgraded with new mechanical systems, state of the art insulation, new finishes and restored details throughout. Now it is a gracious, comfortable and inviting home with seven bathrooms, seven and a half baths, a media room, a relaxing spa, a spectacular lounging porch, a formal living room, dining room, breakfast room, a grand kitchen with pantry, a cozy paneled study, garage space for two cars and an inviting pool. The underground drainage was restored, a new driveway installed with an handsome security gate.

Closeup of the ridgecap on a wood roof replacement on this historic North Branford farmhouse. Built in 1815, this project involved removing three layers of shingles to reveal a shiplap roof deck. We Installed Ice and Water barrier at the edges and ridge and around chimneys (which we also replaced - see that project here on Houzz). We installed 18" Western Red Cedar perfection shingles across all roofing and atop bay windows. All valleys and chimney/vent protrusions were flashed with copper, in keeping with the traditional look of the period.

This project started when our clients bought a small farm, including a barn and several outbuildings, on approximately 35 acres. Their idea was to create a home and gardens that they could use for hosting small and large community group social events while still being a comfortable residence. The house we started with was 2,578 square feet, originally built in the mid-1880’s. Over the past 100 years, several insensitive additions including an apartment and attached garage had been added. The grounds were nice but not interesting, while the barn and outbuildings formed the basis for a typical Midwestern farm complex. We set to work by removing all but two of the additions that had been done over the years, stripping away vinyl siding and trim. Under years of modernizing, we found a solid Italianate house with good basic details and proportions. The challenge was to rebuild it using new materials while keeping the correct detailing and character, and make this house look as if it could have been built this way originally, even though we tripled the size from its original 1880’s size. The siding is cement fiberboard and the trim is syn board. The original corbels and brackets were solid wood, but heavily damaged from poor painting techniques. We needed 100 more of the large brackets as well as that many smaller new brackets. After researching many possibilities, we ended up having molds made of the original brackets and new synthetic ones made. Once the exterior was sided and trimmed (all by one single individual), we did computer color studies and several mock-ups of the detail painting, testing different combinations of accent colors in each groove and on all the different molding surfaces. Also, significant effort went into the landscape planning which included adding a sunken garden to the rear patio and terrace. A large pond was created to supply fill material used to correct grade problems and build large landscape berms on the side property lines. These berms helped screen out a church parking lot and its lights. The result is a magnificent estate quality home and grounds that respect their heritage while making it possible to stand for the next 100 years. Since completion of the house, it has been the subject of much local publicity and has hosted everything from university law school parties to historical society garden parties and teas. Couples have requested permission to use it for weddings and we have been asked about it at events around the state.

Expansive and Yellow 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 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.
