What is a facade on a house?
So, what is a facade on a house?
The facade, to put it simply, is the front of your home. Based on the French word “façade” meaning “frontage” or “face”, the facade tells people more about you — your style, your flare and your approach to interior design.
We know that first impressions count, which is why we have eight contemporary home facades for you to choose from! We can almost guarantee we have a modern house facade that matches your unique sense of style.
From cladding to Moroka, timber, brick and Hebel, we offer an array of materials and design choices that showcase your unique style.
Take a look at our favourite new home facades and find your dream design now – read on!
1. Hamptons Facade
Inspired by classic coastal architecture, the Hamptons façade blends face brick, Newport cladding and batten detailing for a timeless yet relaxed look. Refined finishes and layered textures create enduring street appeal suited to both contemporary and established neighbourhoods.
See the two-storey Hamptons facade on the Byron 323 for some inspiration!
2. Retro Facade
The Retro façade draws on mid-century influences with geometric forms, face brick and a striking skillion roofline. Blending character with practicality, it offers a distinctive architectural look with timeless appeal.
See the Shorehaven 263 above with its skillion roof facade — a true stand-out from the scenery, especially if you’re looking for a contemporary facade with extra style points.
3. Grande Facade
The Grande façade delivers bold street appeal through its symmetrical design, layered materials and elevated porch entry. Combining face brick, cladding and a durable Colorbond roof, it’s a confident design suited to wider blocks and homeowners seeking strong architectural presence.
We used this classic facade on our Bellevue 288 display home. Chic and traditional, anyone would love to call the Bellevue and its modern stone facade home!
