need help for new house exterior

8 years ago

Hi,

we are building our 'forever' home and are stuck on our external colour scheme... we've chosen Bowral Gertrudis Brown bricks, with a Colorbond Dune roof. There are some cladded sections of the house (2 front panels, skillion roof). we love charcoal/black and cream/white. any ideas on which clad products to use and colours? photo of design concept attached. it's hard to see all of the clad, but if you look next to the brick with 3 square windows, you'll see another cladded panel.

thanks in advance!

Lonard; Look at StonePeak "Plane" porcelain panels. The color palette is made for just this home. These panels are essentially thin porcelain (1/2" thick) slabs and they are unaffected by ultra violet rays and or acid rain. Consult StonePeak via their website for a qualified installer and use only proven adhesives and grouts (ie Laticrete, Mapei or Ardex) and use the manufacturers installation system throughout. Also remember to slope window areas away from the structure and caulk the joints at those areas.

Need help in designing Foyer Area

Hi Few points: 1. It's not an independent residential apartment. It is a flat in a 25storey block 2. I have attached the floor plan for reference. The entrance is not too huge. 3. It's good to know that you guys have liked the Bathroom & kitchen design. The tiling work is in progress and it has come out well. I will take few snaps and post 4. When I say resort look - I understand and mean a simplistic natural looking design. More towards wood, nature, green, matt finish etc... Hope i am not confusing anyone here 5. Do you think the bathroom & kitchen design gels with what I mean by resort look. 6. The foyer area is a small (not too big) entrance. It's like a passage as you can see in the pics I posted earlier. When you enter you don't see the entire living room rather you see the wall (kitchen wall), where we intend to keep our dining table. Some thoughts on designing that wall is also requested Thanks!

So you just want to enclose the top area to make it a place to sleep? Does it need to have a kitchen and bathroom or just a sleeping area? I am not an architect but you might want to ask more direct questions like " How can I enclose this upper floor to make it livable?". It looks like you live in a very mild climate. Perhaps you should put up wood walls with windows that match the design on the balcony panels. I am not a builder so I hope someone else has some ideas for you.

You have plenty of great inspiration photos for each room, and the floor plans are a bit small to see.

Great choice on the DUNE® roof. This means you are best suited to a grey to warm grey palette. Try a combination of COLORBOND® steel WALLABY® as your darker tone and SURFMIST® as your lighter tone. The combination of the warm grey tones and the brown bricks will compliment each other and will create a cohesive exterior look.
