Small Brown Exterior Design Ideas

5 town house development.

Coburg Frieze is a purified design that questions what’s really needed. The interwar property was transformed into a long-term family home that celebrates lifestyle and connection to the owners’ much-loved garden. Prioritising quality over quantity, the crafted extension adds just 25sqm of meticulously considered space to our clients’ home, honouring Dieter Rams’ enduring philosophy of “less, but better”. We reprogrammed the original floorplan to marry each room with its best functional match – allowing an enhanced flow of the home, while liberating budget for the extension’s shared spaces. Though modestly proportioned, the new communal areas are smoothly functional, rich in materiality, and tailored to our clients’ passions. Shielding the house’s rear from harsh western sun, a covered deck creates a protected threshold space to encourage outdoor play and interaction with the garden. This charming home is big on the little things; creating considered spaces that have a positive effect on daily life.

Monier Terracotta Nullarbor roof tiles were used as vertical cladding on Elias house. Designed by Harmer Architecture, the design is a composite facade, industrial design achieving a very contemporary look.

Our ’Corten Extension’ project; new open plan kitchen-diner as part of a side-return and rear single storey extension and remodel to a Victorian terrace. The Corten blends in beautifully with the existing brick whilst the plan form kicks out towards the garden to create a small sheltered seating area.
