Blank wall on front of house

User
8年前

The sketch shows a house we are building where we are left with a blank wall on the second storey facing the street. The wall is blank because it has ensuite bathroom, toilet & dressing room behind it.

We would appreciate any ideas for this blank wall that is about 6m wide x3.3m high and the side wall that has our bedroom window already there which we want to keep. We need street appeal please.

    That was going to be my suggestion too, maybe some transoms up high?

    Thank you! We had considered windows originally and we're thinking of putting them back.

    i think a window similar to the side one, but placed high, would look good on your house.

    Absolutely appreciate your ideas. What about using a feature material? Any ideas please?

    What material are you using on the outside of the home?

    Clever graphics! Cedar garage door, stone on side of garage and painting rest of house. Can look at different materials for this front wall :)

    As you rethink adding a fixed window, consider either a fixed window that is the long horizontal kind over the shower/tub surround and/or an octagon one with stained glass for the dressing room.

    You could add a couple of pairs of shutters to create a pair of faux windows that look as if the shutters are closed.

    If you don't want a window that opens on that wall, you might consider having a fixed window and shutters that are louvered to let in some light while protecting your privacy.

    You might also consider a faux gable with a faux window, perhaps functional as part of the venting system for the bath.

    Do board and batten siding details on home. Either vertical or grid layout.

    With out providing floor plans it is difficult to suggest the addition of Windows. The two additional elevations provided only did an investigation in material pattern change but did not investigate material changes. I've attached a current project of ours which expresses this concept. The home originally began as a white vinyl sided home. By proper design investigation with altering the material we are able to transform the entire feeling as well as style of home.

    To provide additional examples, here is a before image showing a dated half round window and stucco facade. Because we understood the interior functions we proposed altering the windows as well as the exterior materials.
