This black stained timber box was designed as an extension to an existing pebble dash dwelling in Harrow. The house is in a conservation area and our proposal compliments the existing dwelling through a contrasting but neutral dark finish. The planning department responded well to our approach which took inspiration from the highly wooded gardens surrounding the dwelling. The dark and textured stained larch provides a sensitive addition to the saturated pebble dash and provides the contemporary addition the client was seeking. Hit and miss timber cladding breaks the black planes and provides solar shading to the South Facing glass, as well as enhanced privacy levels. The interior was completely refurbished as part of the works to create a completely open plan arrangement at ground floor level. A 2 metre wide sliding wall was included to offer separation between the living room and the open plan kitchen if so desired. Darryl Snow Photography

This home, located in Seal Beach, CA has gone from blending-in to standing-out. Our team of professionals worked to repair any damages to the stucco and wood framing before painting the exterior of the home. The primary purpose of elastomeric paint is to form a waterproof protection barrier against any form of moisture. Elastomeric paint is a high build coating that is designed to protect and waterproof stucco and masonry surfaces. These coatings help protect your stucco from wind-driven rain and can create a waterproofing system that protects your stucco if applied correctly.

Hinton wood Admiral is a major artery that serves the north and south route toward the coastal area of High cliffe and further along toward Christchurch . The site itself is currently occupied by two single storey pitched roofed outbuildings, which are used by the residents. Studio B.a.d where commissioned to undertake a detailed feasibility study to create two new dwellings in an existing back garden. The design strategy has been to create two invisible high quality semi detached flat roofed houses on a left over piece of garden land close to the heart of Hinton Admiral. The form, material and detailed composition of the development has evolved through extensive research into the local vernacular and with an overriding view to keep these dwellings very low in height. The scheme has placed great importance on the quality of living of potential residents and the privacy / amenity of existing neighboring residents. The new houses have been carefully positioned on the site to minimize disruption to adjacent buildings and development's, with the schemes primary aspect facing South. Improved landscaping and planting between the proposed new houses and existing developments will also aid visual screening and improve resident’s amenity. Materials have been selected to reference (but not replicate) those found locally and will be hard wearing but also textured, possessing a feeling of quality. The new houses has access to a private amenity courtyard which is South facing.

Semi-detached House with a Flat 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.
