A recessed entrance and flat frontage gain warmth, depth and a clearer path to the front door.

An overlooked stairway becomes the focal point, with a wood-lined entrance and quieter garage doors.

Pale masonry and warm doors soften the exterior while preserving its balanced window rhythm.

Existing stone gains a more cohesive setting through timber porch details and a planted approach.

Competing gables and bright garage doors settle into a calmer, coordinated material palette.

I look at your exterior as one architectural composition: what should remain, what should change and where the eye should go.
Existing brick or stone may be worth keeping. The entrance should belong to the façade. The best home exterior redesign focuses on the changes that make the greatest difference, rather than changing everything.

A PERSONAL DESIGN SERVICE
I’m an architectural and exterior designer with 8+ years of professional design experience. I personally design each project, from the architectural direction through colors, materials and the final visualization.
Meet Mary Jo →“Honestly, this made the whole renovation feel much less overwhelming. I knew I wanted to update the exterior, but I had no idea which colors or materials would actually work together. Seeing the full design beforehand helped us make decisions so much faster.”
“Mary understood what I wanted almost immediately. I asked for something more modern, but I didn’t want the house to lose its character. The final concept was exactly that: fresh, elegant and still felt like our home. I’m really happy with how everything came together.”
“We were about to start ordering materials and I’m so glad we did this first. There were a few things I thought would look great that actually didn’t work once we saw them on the house. The visualization probably saved us from making some expensive mistakes.”
