Our designers gave this unique California home an equally unique contemporary exterior design. First, we highlighted the ‘Corona bottle’ chimney with a cement-based material and added a firebox opening to the outdoors. New lap siding in Caviar on the upper level contrasts beautifully against the vertical wood cladding. A front porch addition takes advantage of the gorgeous setting for outdoor living. Finally, a new garage door, new front door, and a new upper level window cap off the design.

This Texas property had great outdoor living space but it needed some dressing up — especially the cinder blocks that were supporting the upper level deck. Our designers suggested beautiful off-white stone veneer siding around the supports. Siding and stucco are rendered in Benjamin Moore’s Desert Twilight with Black on the trim. Wood accents — from the window trim headers to the paneling beneath the roof gable to the paneling beneath the deck and awning — tie the design together.
