Terrace House by natabumi studio
A façade is the face of a house. It is the element seen from the outside for the first time. The façade of a house also represents the character of its inhabitants, hence it must be designed with thorough consideration.
There are many things to consider when designing a façade, starting from choosing the design style to determining the materials. Let's look at the steps to determine the façade of a house below so it can be perfectly suitable for your preferences.
What is your character and style?
Not only the interior design should make the inhabitants feel right at home, the house exterior, especially the façade should also suit their character and style. The choice is between staying low or standing out.

In another example, RumaDuaBata has 2 faces. RumaDuaBata's neighbourhood already looks crowded in terms of shape and colour. Hence, both façades of the house are designed plain and ornament-free with neutral colour for a low-profile look. The simple white façades are completed with vegetation for the final appearance.

Façade materials
Apart from the design style, the materials wrapping the façade should also be chosen carefully. For modern looks, painted bricks can be used. Several materials such as bricks, wood, or stone can be left unfinished for industrial-style looks.

In GOLFFN HOUSE, a large laser-cut box is used uniquely throughout the upper volume which then appears to be floating atop a glass volume. This laser-cut box conveys a personalised pattern of a modern and versatile house.

Maximize the looks
Greeneries and lighting design can be additional features added to complement the façade of the house nicely. The hidden lighting at several points on the façade will enhance the house appearance, making it look remarkable as the night falls. The presence of greeneries also makes the façade feels fresher and more alive.
