A French Château style home Marie Antoinette herself would have been envious of! This Newport Beach, CA residence is truly a Mini-Versailles! Dynamic Garage Door, as a company, was commissioned to custom design, handcraft and install garage doors, gates and shutters. All architectural elements were to follow the customer's detailed taste including the hand-forged custom hardware which we so gracefully put together to make this custom garage door, garden gate and shutter project happen. Located in an upscale track home community, the detailed upgrades on this home represent unique luxury and nothing to do with a run-of-the-mill track home. The custom window shutter design and paint color were carefully selected to harmonize with the home's architecture and color scheme. Custom Garage Doors - The custom garage doors were designed in traditional style typically known as the carriage house door, it is a traditional design that complements a variety of architectural styles including this French Château in the middle of Newport Beach, CA. These type of carriage house garage doors are often times intermingled with Cape Cod Architecture, Craftsman Bungalow Style, Coastal Cottages and even some modern day applications with very minimal design modifications to suit the project at hand. With our customization expertise, we can custom-design a unique carriage house garage door style that will simply add beauty, curve appeal and architectural taste to your custom or track home. Custom Architectural Garden Gates - Garden gates are by far an architectural element that is highly overseen particularly in landscaping projects. This French Château owner hired an outstanding landscaping architect with a keen taste for luxurious French Gardens. When Dynamic Garage Door was commissioned to custom-design, handcraft and install the garden and courtyard gates of this home the details were precise, unyielding and very specific! Designing the garden gates for this home was a bit of a challenge but thanks to our design taste, skilled craftsmanship and technical knowledge we were able to craft custom garden gates that were as gorgeous as the landscaping elements selected by the landscape architect. Custom Architectural Shutters - Without a doubt, window shutters are a must in certain architectural style such as this Newport Beach, CA French Style Château. Selecting the right hand-forged hardware is certainly of essence to make the minimalistic raised-panel shutters style. Selecting the right colors to make them pop against the soft gray-painted walls and other variations of gray made these shutters an addition that spelled, success! The homeowner was extremely happy, the landscape architect ecstatic and Dynamic Garage Door - simply proud! Browse through this short gallery and see the elements that made a difference on this French Château. See why Dynamic Garage Door is highly revered for crafting some of the nation's most astounding custom garage doors, garden & driveway gates as well as architectural window shutters that speak volumes to the discerning architectural eye!

On the site of an old family summer cottage, nestled on a lake in upstate New York, rests this newly constructed year round residence. The house is designed for two, yet provides plenty of space for adult children and grandchildren to come and visit. The serenity of the lake is captured with an open floor plan, anchored by fireplaces to cozy up to. The public side of the house presents a subdued presence with a courtyard enclosed by three wings of the house. Photo Credit: David Lamb

House Exterior with Stone Cladding and Vinyl Cladding 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.
