This 11,750 square foot mansion lies in Hillsborough, CA. Working with the existing massing of the home, the design is inspired by traditional architectural forms, utilizing columns and large courtyards to accentuate the grandeur of the residence and its setting. Extensive traditional casework throughout the home was integrated with the latest in home automation technology, creating a synergy between two forms of luxury that can often conflict. Taking advantage of the warm and sunny climate, a pool and courtyard were added, designed in a classical style to complement home while providing a world class space for entertaining.

Frankston South Modern Beach House The proposal is for the development of a double storey dwelling, with basement to replace an existing double storey dwelling. The contemporary, coastal dwelling has been designed to respond to the site, including the undulating topography. The ground floor is primarily the sleeping quarters, with four bedrooms (three with ensuite). Other features of the ground floor include a north-facing family room, multi-purpose room, theatre room, laundry and a central powder room. Every room (except the theatre) has access to an adjoining deck area. The primary north-facing deck is accessible from the family room, containing a lap pool and BBQ area. Consistent with most modern dwellings that have access to a view, the upper floor is the primary living space; and includes an open plan dining, living and kitchen area, with access to north facing balconies. The master bedroom and associated ensuite and WIR occupy the southern portion of the upper floor, while the other habitable rooms on the first floor are two studies adjacent to the entry. A balcony wraps-around the north and west side of the dwelling. The basement is essentially the garage, with a 4 car garage. There is also storage space, a laundry and powder room. All levels are connected via internal stairs, as well as a lift. The architecturally designed dwelling provides a well-considered response to the opportunities and constraints of the site. The contemporary, coastal style of the dwelling will result in a positive contribution to the housing stock along the coast in Frankston South, while the size, scale and siting is responsive to the prevailing neighbourhood character.

Expansive Concrete 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.
