HELP - update the facade of our holiday house
Comments (11)The façade cost will depend upon the materials you pick and site specs (sloping blocks are a bit more challenging) and labour costs ( just make sure that you check your trades licenses, insurances and references for everyone who works on your house) - once you're structurally sound then the rest is straight forward (it's also been my experience with my builders - who are awesome - that they can come up with some amazing ideas that are cost effective and have a real wow factor). If it were me I'd ask around the neighbourhood for builders that can be recommended - they should be able to do it all at the same time and save you some money. On the materials - I'd be tempted to go with natural timber that will weather naturally without needing maintenance - personally I'd lean towards a Japanese technique of charring the timber so that you don't need to do a lot of upkeep - called Shou-sugi-ban - the reason being that the dark colour will tone in with your window frames....See MoreIs there any way of updating our facade?
Comments (28)It would be good to use Dulux fine Texture Outdoor paint with a texture/spaghetti roller in a sandy (pale yellow) light to mid colour range on the all brickwork, including fence. Horizontal powder coated steel inserts to fence to finish it off in a the same blue as roof, guttering, etc. Leave the garage door colour as is (blue). I'd take out the tree you have planted in front yard as it just doesn't look right and will give you financial pain as it's roots damage your drains, and home. Just have one or two blue large round (you already have lots of straight lines) planters near or on the entrance to doorway. Large succulents like Agave in the pot would look striking and need little watering. Plant dwarf or regular Lilli Pillies on the council strip on both sides of corner in a line about 1.5 metres apart. They are a very fast growing native, that don't drop very many leaves and only need watering in the initial stages. They also are more tall than wide. This will give you more of a private, lush feel without the problems of planting trees in your extremely close front yard. Don't go with any suggestions of hedges....they are fickle and the work involved to keep them looking sharp would be horrendous. You just want to enjoy your home, not be a slave to it! Good luck:)...See MoreBalustrade in Sunroom
Comments (16)Thank you Sophie c and spmm, great suggestions! SPMM The current sliding doors we have put a restrict opening and considered that approach too. So, thank you. If that would be acceptable to council then that would be our best bet. The whole window will be taken down to allow for the new windows which will be heavy and will need better support. So yes, the shelf will be removed. I have also explored this type of window opening perhaps. Again restrictive opening. The husband is not that keen on the idea. This is the sketched house. So would like a seamless and minimal look as it will be all windows on the front second level of the house....See MoreIdeas on Improving the facade on this brick box..
Comments (14)I left the screen off the window because I thought it might be a better balance, and a bit of how much time it takes to do that! but it could work you could photoshop it better than my paint program That window is not taking on the western sun I did think that it could be good to look at doing the fence the same with a large sliding gate Photoshop Please...See Moreb Moh
