Originally built by SAWGRASS in 2007. Our clients wanted to add a small shed addition in the back yard and a low-maintenance hardscape that will hold up to the salt air. In addition, this vacation home needed some TLC. We installed new pavers at the front entry, a new driveway pad, new wood fencing, and a gate with stainless steel hardware. Then we added a sun deck, an outdoor shower enclosure and pea gravel hardscape to the rear and side yards. For the front yard, the clients wanted vinyl fencing to the side of the driveway to the east. An accent boulder and pea gravel were the finishing touches.

The small wood-framed home originally constructed in 1937, with later additions in 1985 and 1991, was badly in need of a face lift. We tore it back to the bones and started over to meet the clients’ program and sustainability goals. -- John Wilbanks Photography

The Prairie Passive home is a contemporary Pacific Northwest energy efficient take on the classic Prairie School style with an amazing ocean view. Designed to the rigorous Passive House standard, this home uses a fraction of the energy of a code built house, circulates fresh filtered air throughout the home, maintains a quiet calm atmosphere in the middle of a bustling neighborhood, and features elegant wooden hues (such as the cedar Yakisugi siding).

The first building constructed entirely of salvaged felled trees from within Portland city limits, the owners wanted to ensure the home had as light a footprint as possible. Featuring an attached studio apartment [also known as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)], a 3,000 gallon potable rainwater harvesting system, hydronic heated earthen floors, staggered stud super-insulated shell, and a 6 KW Photo Voltaic (PV) array this LEED-H Platinum certified home topped the green building rankings for its time.

The original home and an existing addition were altered at the back on the main level by adding a man door from the kitchen (left) to access the deck for bbq cooking. Centre, a new 12ft sliding door was installed to bring light into the home and provide an increased view of the ravine in the rear yard. On the second floor a former window was bricked in to allow space for an open concept walk in closet with custom cabinetry. Photo by Andrew Snow Photography

Yellow Contemporary House Exterior 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary exterior architecture choices for your house designs.
