Resurfacing/replacing your roof would go a long way including the gutters - go for a muted grey or navy blue. The roof vent details can be swapped out as well for a simpler detail. I'd also look at swapping the columns and verandah brackets - they date the frontage. If you want that Hamptons look, you'll really need to look at replacing the windows as well.

Thanks for the comment DD. As it is an apartment in a high rise, there was no choice but to match the existing frame colour of the other levels. We had to ensure that the look remained the same throughout the apartment in order to comply with both the Local Council and obtain Body Corporate approval. As an aside, it even got down to the colour (tint) of the glass and was also quite a technical challenge to winch up pre-formed double glazed windows and full height sliding doors on the outside of some 13 storeys where no lifting facilities existed.

Hi Ben We offer architectural services for any style of residential project and currently have a few "Hamptons" inspired projects on the go. We've recently completed one yet to be photographed but attached elevation to give you an idea. Depends upon what you are seeking specifically. Is it a new build or a renovation project? Where will the project site be located? Hamptons style is timeless and derived from traditional/colonial architecture aesthetic. But good design of these types of homes involve intimate understanding of this architectural language (the particular detailing, balance, scaling and symmetry) and capacity to apply the aesthetic to functional requirements of the modern day lifestyle and living needs. I'm working on a coastal Hamptons project at the moment on which whilst the previous architect made it look pretty, the spaces are completely dysfunctional and awkward, and so we're having to completely re-work the main areas to achieve appropriate entertaining and alfresco proportions, that are required of a classy Hamptons inspired residence..... We service a wide range of custom (relatively high end) projects across Melbourne, Geelong and surrounding coastal areas, so please feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss further.
