Window Placement for Facade

lindsayr · Aug 12, 2020 12:35 pm

Hi there,

Anyone love designing window placement and facade? We are looking at doing an extension at the front of a brick veneer house. Currently house has sliding windows. Looking for windows to break up the boxiness of the extension a little. Appreciate any thoughts.

You could go with a modern bay window like this one: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1d/65/4c/1d65 ... 86e440.jpg

That is interesting, should have said I do not want to go ultra modern.

Do you have a photo of what the current front looks like, or whats you want to try and do to make it less flat?

The answer comes down to what is going to fit the aesthetics of the current building.

The things i can think of:
Bay window
Faux shutterslike the late 70's early 80's

I don't have a photo at the moment. It is around a 1970s brick veneer home with quite an aweful brown brick at the moment. I am looking to render the brick of the old and new the same colour. Windows on the existing house are sliding windows with a woodgrain panel in the middle of them at the moment.

I guess I am just thinking of something that is a little more interesting on the eye than just 2 square windows, maybe a couple of longer windows to give some break up or similar upstairs.
