See how changes to materials, entrances and proportions give familiar homes a different character. Each example explains the choices behind the transformation.
The long, low frontage needs a clearer arrival. A timber gable, substantial porch supports and a quieter garage finish give the entrance more presence.
Preserve the balanced window rhythm while strengthening the central doorway. Pale stone, warm ivory siding and refined garage detailing establish a more deliberate hierarchy.
Bring texture and depth to the builder-basic exterior. Shingles, a substantial portico and restrained copper-toned accents connect the entrance with the roof and siding.
