Kombination von Carport und Eingangsüberdachung

Siebau Raumsysteme GmbH & Co. KG

Wie sehr ein Gebäude nicht nur hinsichtlich des Nutzens, sondern auch optisch durch ein Carport und/oder Vordach aufgewertet werden kann, zeigt dieses Projekt aus dem Havelland. Für das Einfamilienhaus westlich von Berlin hat SIEBAU eine Carport-Vordach-Kombination gefertigt, durch die PKW-Unterstand und Hauseingang nun stets trockenen Fußes und wettergeschützt erreichbar sind. Die Besonderheit: Eigentlich handelt es sich hierbei um zwei getrennte Einheiten, denn das Carport wird mit entsprechendem Dachgefälle nach hinten entwässert, die Überdachung des Hauseingangs – deren Konstruktion beruht übrigens auch auf dem Carportsystem – seitlich in den Vorgarten. Durch die Attika (Dachrandverkleidung) ergibt sich aber eine einheitliche Optik in einer Flucht. Die Pulverbeschichtung der Stahlbauteile in RAL 7016 (Anthrazit) ist im gleichen Farbton gehalten wie Fenster, Haustür und Jalousien – so verschmelzen Carport und Eingangsüberdachung mit dem Wohnhaus zu einer Einheit. Die Wandfelder des Carports sind zum Nachbargrundstück mit einer offenen Holzlattung gefüllt. Diese ersetzen als Grenzbebauung nicht nur einen Teil des Zauns, sondern bieten auch eine blickhemmende Abtrennung. Der Naturton des Holzes harmoniert dabei sowohl gut zum dunklen Stahl als auch zur Fassade des Nachbargebäudes.

Breathe Design Studio

Our Austin studio decided to go bold with this project by ensuring that each space had a unique identity in the Mid-Century Modern style bathroom, butler's pantry, and mudroom. We covered the bathroom walls and flooring with stylish beige and yellow tile that was cleverly installed to look like two different patterns. The mint cabinet and pink vanity reflect the mid-century color palette. The stylish knobs and fittings add an extra splash of fun to the bathroom. The butler's pantry is located right behind the kitchen and serves multiple functions like storage, a study area, and a bar. We went with a moody blue color for the cabinets and included a raw wood open shelf to give depth and warmth to the space. We went with some gorgeous artistic tiles that create a bold, intriguing look in the space. In the mudroom, we used siding materials to create a shiplap effect to create warmth and texture – a homage to the classic Mid-Century Modern design. We used the same blue from the butler's pantry to create a cohesive effect. The large mint cabinets add a lighter touch to the space. --- Project designed by the Atomic Ranch featured modern designers at Breathe Design Studio.

Stucco Exterior Design Ideas with a Black 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.
