Re: Whats wrong with this facade? 12Jul 19, 2015 2:45 pm thanks guys! that's such a huge help. its so hard picking colours from tiny little samples and imagining what it will all look like together. the "yellow" bricks, looked much more creamy and neutral in the show room I think from what most of you guys are saying, landscaping will be the ultimate test. if it still looks dull and dreary after that, then its back to the drawing board, and possibly some "adjustments" to the bricks. we are set on 2 acres, with a 30m set-back from the street, so I guess we have lots of room to work with. I like the idea of adding wood, like decking. I think it will soften the feel of the house. which is what I drew in my picture. have a bit of a wooden porch, then have the wood extending into paths going along either side of the front of the house, with lots of leafy natives. Re: Whats wrong with this facade? 13Jul 19, 2015 8:15 pm I'd agree that the best approach is to continue with it as it is, and keep open the option of rendering if you're still not happy in the future, but wait until it's more finished and established, because things change quite a bit between now and then. To give an idea of where render might take it, I cooked up these edits: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ My editing isn't great, and that's probably not the right colour, but based on that I think even with render over the cream brick, there a still some challenges to getting the look right. Alternatively, for a lot less render, you could also do it the other way around, and render over the dark bricks. I think this option may be better start for a lasting look, especially as it then matches around the house. It also helps bring the feature wall forward.

I am saying that double brick has similar thermal performance due to thermal mass effect.
