Ontdek onze transformatie van een historisch juweeltje in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid! We zijn verheugd om ons nieuwste project in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid te onthullen - een tijdloze schat, oorspronkelijk ontworpen in 1890 door de beroemde architect Jacob Klinkhamer. We omarmen de rijke geschiedenis van dit vooraanstaande huis en hebben het omgetoverd tot een gastvrije en eigentijdse woning, zorgvuldig afgestemd op de behoeften van zijn nieuwe gezin. Met behoud van het erfgoed en de schoonheid van de straatgevel, die de status van beschermd gemeentelijk monument heeft, hebben we ervoor gezorgd dat er slechts kleine aanpassingen werden doorgevoerd om de historische charme te behouden. Achter de elegante buitenkant wachtte echter een uitgebreide renovatie van het interieur en een structurele revisie. Van het verdiepen van de keldervloer tot het introduceren van een liftschacht, we hebben geen middel onbeproefd gelaten bij het opnieuw vormgeven van deze ruimte voor het moderne leven. Elk aspect van de indeling is zorgvuldig herschikt om de functionaliteit te maximaliseren en een naadloze stroom tussen de kamers te creëren. Het resultaat? Een harmonieuze mix van klassiek en eigentijds design, die de geest van het verleden weerspiegelt en het comfort van vandaag omarmt. Het kroonjuweel van dit project is de toevoeging van een prachtig modern dakterras, dat een adembenemend uitzicht op de skyline van de stad biedt en de perfecte plek is voor ontspanning en entertainment. Wij nodigen u uit om de transformatie van dit historische juweeltje op onze website te ontdekken. Wees getuige van het huwelijk tussen ouderwetse charme en moderne elegantie, en zie hoe we een huis hebben getransformeerd in een geliefd thuis.

Renowned Georgian architect Henry Holland designed the house, with the grounds laid out by the celebrated 18th-century landscape designer Lancelot' Capability' Brown.

What an astonishing outcome between the mixed vertical/horizonal white siding along side this marvelous stone front! Top it off with the asphalt shingle roofing with the dark black gutters & trim, there's so much going on and it all comes together perfectly!

AN EAST LONDON GEORGIAN TOWNHOUSE

Francesco Pierazzi Architects

FPArchitects have restored and refurbished a four-storey grade II listed Georgian mid terrace in London's Limehouse, turning the gloomy and dilapidated house into a bright and minimalist family home. Located within the Lowell Street Conservation Area and on one of London's busiest roads, the early 19th century building was the subject of insensitive extensive works in the mid 1990s when much of the original fabric and features were lost. FPArchitects' ambition was to re-establish the decorative hierarchy of the interiors by stripping out unsympathetic features and insert paired down decorative elements that complement the original rusticated stucco, round-headed windows and the entrance with fluted columns. Ancillary spaces are inserted within the original cellular layout with minimal disruption to the fabric of the building. A side extension at the back, also added in the mid 1990s, is transformed into a small pavilion-like Dining Room with minimal sliding doors and apertures for overhead natural light. Subtle shades of colours and materials with fine textures are preferred and are juxtaposed to dark floors in veiled reference to the Regency and Georgian aesthetics.

Exterior Design Ideas with Four or More Storeys and a Grey Roof

The front exterior of your home – the driveway, front yard, verandah and entrance – is a fantastic place to start making that all-important first impression on house guests. Even mailboxes and house numbers can have a wonderful way of grabbing people’s attention. The architectural design should reflect the overall style of your house and the family that live there; while your choice of materials will help your house blend in with its surrounds. Browse the photos on Houzz for ideas and inspiration for the exterior of your house, and strike up a conversation with the architects and designers of your favourite picks. You’ll find house designs for contemporary, eclectic, modern, traditional styles and more.

How do I decide on the exterior style of my home?

Your location, overall sense of style, budget and current home layout will dictate the style of your exterior. If you’re renovating a period home, the materials and features you use should reflect the date in which it was built, while a unique colour scheme could add contemporary flair. New homes may prefer to look to modern or contemporary designs with structural simplicity, whereas, if you live by the ocean, a beach-style design may better suit your locale. That’s not to say you can’t build a new home that has period influences. If you’re a traditionalist, you can borrow architectural details from the Art Deco period, for instance, or use finishes that reflect more of a Scandinavian style, too.

What exterior house colours and materials should I use?

Traditional homes typically use brick and timber building materials, while stone, board-formed concrete and metal cladding are popular contemporary options. Again, the materials you use will depend on your location and the statement you want to make. Your budget will also affect your choice. Vinyl siding is affordable and easy to install, while stone is more expensive but durable and low maintenance. If you’re not ready to renovate but want to update the exterior of your home, you can still paint it. Look to your neighbours when choosing exterior house colours. Consider the streetscape and what type of colours are already in use, firstly, so you don’t replicate next door’s shade; and secondly, so you don’t stand out like a sore thumb. If you’re renovating a period home, you could paint features or intricate details in a bold, standout hue. Front doors, garage doors and window trims also look great in eye-catching colours, even if the rest of the house’s facade is neutral.

How can I maximise my home’s street appeal?

To spice up your home’s architectural design, landscape the surrounding area with plants and pathways that accent the style of your home. If you just need a quick revamp, look at your cement and pavers – these can split and crack over time; and repairing or replacing them can do wonders for your street appeal, especially if it’s a large area like your driveway. Plants, garden paths or low walls can can also add structure to your front yard. Light up your home with sufficient outdoor lighting to make walking up to the front door easy at night. You could use bollard lights along your entry path, or replace tiny wall sconces with statement pendant lighting at the entrance or on your verandah. Decorative elements such as house numbers, mailboxes and doormats will also add character. And if you're looking to sell your house, it may be worth hiring a stylist to help make the most of your property.
