Render in Dulux Highgate, cladding in Shale Grey, roof in Shale grey. Barge and finials in white. It looks a lot lighter on a sunny day as you can see in the second photo. Decking is treated pine stained Japan Black. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Love your facade. Very nice.. Did the dog cost much extra? LOL. I have a dog that loves to get into the photos. Very clean and crisp facade. Lovely. Re: Show us your facade... 65Mar 03, 2019 3:42 pm Hello All, Loving this forum, having a look through this post was interesting. Avalon 3521 - Facade CompletedLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Here is a 3d render of our facade. I got it done and it helps to work out what the colours look like together. Cannot wait for the house to be built. Just Started Re: Show us your facade... 67Mar 08, 2019 5:01 pm It’s lovely but I’m not sure if I would want to live it it. You would need the right block and aspect otherwise you could find yourself living in a fishbowl or a sweat box. You would also want to look at how you would cove the massive windows. Re: Show us your facade... 68Mar 08, 2019 5:09 pm I generally like it, but it does have a lot going on. If you simplified the amount of colours and materials it could look good. It definitely needs tinted windows at the front since they are big windows looking into bedrooms. The big window looks like a game of tic tac toe. I would adjust the mullions and sashes to make it less symmetrical. Re: Show us your facade... 69Mar 08, 2019 10:24 pm ![]() It’s lovely but I’m not sure if I would want to live it it. You would need the right block and aspect otherwise you could find yourself living in a fishbowl or a sweat box. You would also want to look at how you would cove the massive windows. Our block is on a corner, side street on the right. It is south facing, north at the back. Yes I realised that and other considerations with this bold façade. This just caught our attention since the builder is giving this particular façade as standard and is toying with ideas. thank you.

You mean, limit it to 2 colours? will a stoney feature on the pillar under the center big window look good?

Use awning windows on the front instead of sliding windows so that the flyscreen is on the inside of the house and not on the street. Being on a corner block you need to make sure the side of your house looks as good as the front, so make sure the builder shows you the side elevations as well. Re: Show us your facade... 72Mar 11, 2019 6:34 pm Hi all, I'm confused which one will look a lot better. Your inputs and suggestions are really helpful. For the brick wall, we are using Blackwood Homestead of Austral Bricks, or something similar. We like dark brown bricks. The image 1 below is the standard facade. The only change we've made so far is we've extended the height of the brick posts to full height of balcony (shown on image 2). Option 1 - Leave the facade style as is, as shown on image 1 with extended posts to balcony. Cladding colour is light grey including the cladding to balcony (or maybe darker in the balcony?) Option 2 - Change the cladding of the upper floor to bricks then completely render the entire facade of the upper floor. Colour is light grey. Cladding to balcony remains the same, with colour being grey. Option 3 - Change the entire facade of first floor to cladding with light grey as the colour. With the posts to balcony, I'm thinking whether to change to Zinc metallix bricks (shown on Image 3) or render this part in darker grey? Thank you all!

I like the option 2 of rendering the upper floor after brick. That way you will demarcate the upper floor also from the lower brick floor. Also i feel that instead of having your posts different from the cladding on top of them, why dont you have your pillars/posts cladded also. No bricks there...just the caldding same as what is on top. That way it will have the continuity in the posts and balcony cladding above. you could also get your garage wall rendered also matching with the top floor. Hope it helps Re: Show us your facade... 74Mar 12, 2019 11:59 am i quite like your facade. I just feel that there are too many elements in terms of colors and laterials there. You could have a grey brick around the garage to match with the greys in the facade instead of the beige thats there now. You could also match your stain of front door with your garage door color and the entrace floor. The windows though looks absolutely stunning might be a privacy issue. SO you could get them tinted whihc everyone has suggested. Another idea is to match your cladding on upper floor with your garage door and then the brick around the garage could match the render color on ground floor. Hope it helps.

I'd aim to stick to 3 elements. Re: Show us your facade... 77Apr 09, 2019 9:26 am ![]() ![]() ![]() Hi all, I'm confused which one will look a lot better.

Our CSR has advised that we can discuss about the facade upgrade on our Studio Selections appointment. It would be nice if they can offer 3D app that I can visually see but unfortunately it isn't available.
