Design a premium exterior for your home

If you're putting in the effort to design and build your dream home, you will want it to look incredible. One thing to consider is how you can create a premium exterior. Get it right and your property will become an instant show-stopper. Let's do a deeper dive on some of the most important things to look at. Then, if you want to create high end residential architecture in London, you can design it with us.

Contrast

One of the main things to think about is how important contrast is. Picture exteriors that get a lot of love and admiration. What do many of them have in common? They have powerfully contrasting materials to give the whole exterior an amazing look. This creates more visual interest, preventing exteriors from looking flat and monotonous.

A classic strategy is to explore using lighter render and then choose darker elements to contrast with it. This can include dark door and window frames, trim, and other decorative elements.

Even better, if you can create contrasts with your choice of textures, it can further enhance the design. Spend some time to see how different materials will work together to create interest. Different combinations and slight changes can achieve great results.

Stone cladding

Beautiful stone cladding is a fantastic choice for homes, including residential architecture in London. It's growing in popularity in the UK because it can create a high end look while also saving costs and weight. It can be a much better option than solid stone or low end finishing materials. Additionally, good quality cladding can last a very long time, making it a great investment.

There are some really important things to think about here though. Firstly, consider what type of stone look you want. There are plenty of options. You can even choose cladding that will provide a reclaimed look or the natural variation in colour and texture that happens with real stone.

Wellness

A key way people display their wealth today is by designing homes to maximise wellness. There are several things you can do to showcase this on the exterior of a home. Green walls are a lovely idea, able to add interesting greenery to the structure. At the same time, they improve air quality, water management, and acoustic insulation. They can help to reduce stress too, all while giving you a signature feature wall.

It's also important to think about light and the impact on wellness. Homes full of natural light are much better for inhabitants. Think carefully about this and how you can use things like large windows and skylights. They are interesting features, adding to the architecture as well as increasing light levels.
