You could also consider a slightly grey tint of white if you don't want the harshness of pure white and warm white is too yellow.
The direction the front of your house faces will make a big difference in the way the colour looks as well.

We’ve been turned off hebel cladding by a builder, we are considering acrylic rendering over brick but would consider other cladding if its more robust (builder warned us about damage to hebel). Also can I ask are you windows black or monument? What colour gutters/fascia/roof are you planning?[/quote:37v7g2ef] gogo65 I forgot to mention our windows are black. Our gutters/facia will be in basalt as we have some Alucobond stuff that will also be basalt and needs to work with our gutters and fascia. The roof is in shale grey. Also the reason we chose to keep orangeboard to the sides is this would minimise damage but give us the opportunity to go double brick (cost perspective) in the areas we feel is necessary.[/quote] Thanks gablesrocks, I’ve been thinking about monument or black windows but like basalt for gutters and fascia as well, have been a little worried there might not be enough contrast, so will wait in anticipation 😊  11 Aug 2015 241 NSW Bronze Member 11 Aug 2015 241 NSW Bronze Member 11 Aug 2015 241 NSW Bronze Member Re: Owner/ Builder -Architect Build PM'd by Rehaan Builders 127Apr 28, 2019 2:57 pm So the internal doors have been selected. I have created a mood board.
We will have frosted glass doors in the laundry and master walk in robe upstairs. The frosted glass door in the walk in robe will be open most of the time and just slide shut when we are getting ready. Having a frosted laundry door will allow light into the passage way just outside the laundry and also light into the master walk in robe. All other doors are semi solid Corinthian Doors. The locks are square and black. We are now deciding what skirting we go with eg. Shadowline etc. See below: 11 Aug 2015 241 NSW Bronze Member 11 Aug 2015 241 NSW Bronze Member Re: Owner/ Builder -Architect Build PM'd by Rehaan Builders 129Apr 29, 2019 8:26 pm Some more stuff happening behind the scenes. amilelka we got the swatches 😀 Our exterior will have louvres (I don't have a sample for it so I have used a swatch of their site and it's terrible. However for now I guess it will have to do. The rammed earth wall is the round sample. The monument will be our cladding. The Basalt colour will be the triangle shaped porch that will have louvres and finally we have chosen our render colour as Lexicon. Any thoughts guys?

The installation cost has been exorbitant however our builder has come to the rescue. We saved about $6-9k in installation. Our builder spent about 3 days onsite installing them of which two days were with my husband and one day with his own Dad getting this done. I am so glad this is done because I spent two days with the kids at home and both were whinging and whining at me. Never again! I couldn’t be thankful enough as because of this we were able to get the brick work started.

The garage (who cares about it anyways?) is single bricked. We have only just begun with our brick work however they smashed through it in a day. There is probably only one more day of work. In total on the foam and bricks we have spent 4 days. Had we gone full brick it could have been 4-5 weeks.

Double brick also requires deeper and wider footings when comparing to brick veneer. This is surely single brick veneer you are currently having. 11 Aug 2015 241 NSW Bronze Member Re: Owner/ Builder -Architect Build PM'd by Rehaan Builders 135Apr 30, 2019 1:18 pm alexp79Double brick is structural, not cladding, meaning that no timber frame is generally needed for double brick and roof support is done by the bricks.

It's double brick! 25 Apr 2019 1 New Poster Re: Owner/ Builder -Architect Build PM'd by Rehaan Builders 137Apr 30, 2019 1:52 pm Alexp79m the image that Gablerocks posted is clear that they are using double brick in some places, but not traditional double brick with cavity. Assuming this is done as a feature for the depth.
You might notice this is my first post, and the only reason I chose to post here is because I think the constant negative tone you write in regards to someone's blog is disappointing. 11 Aug 2015 241 NSW Bronze Member Re: Owner/ Builder -Architect Build PM'd by Rehaan Builders 140Apr 30, 2019 1:54 pm Have had a lot of clients lately coming through with what is possibly properties in NSW and Victoria walking away-because the numbers no longer work.
