Airlie-245-Display-Home

Whether your style is modern, Hamptons, contemporary or more traditional, the look and feel of your house facade should showcase your unique style and set the tone for the rest of your home — so it’s important to get it right! 

To help inspire and guide your house design, read on to discover our eight contemporary house facades and their unique features below.

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!

Our contemporary house facades

Byron 323 - Hamptons

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!

Shorehaven 275 - Retro

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.

Bellevue 288 - Grande

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!

Newport 281 - Executive

4. Executive Facade

The Executive façade offers a polished, contemporary look with clean lines, face brick and textured cladding. Finished with a durable tiled roof, it delivers a refined street presence that balances sophistication with everyday practicality.

Avalon 209 - Modern Coastal

The Modern Coastal façade pairs contemporary design with relaxed beachside influences. Featuring clean lines, cladding, face brick and a feature gable, it creates a fresh and approachable street presence with timeless appeal.

Sorrento 378 - Provincial

6. Provincial Facade

The Provincial façade takes inspiration from elegant European architecture, featuring rendered Hebel, decorative mouldings and refined detailing. Soft textures and balanced proportions create a sophisticated street presence with enduring appeal.

See the Provincial facade on the two-storey Sorrento 378 for some inspiration!

The Cosmo façade delivers modern Australian style through streamlined forms, clean lines and layered textures. Face brick and cladding work together to create a low-maintenance exterior with fresh, contemporary appeal.

Coolum-302_Alpine-Facade

8. Alpine Facade

Inspired by chalet-style architecture, the Alpine façade combines natural textures, feature gables and strong roof forms to create a warm and welcoming street presence. Face brick, cladding and a Colorbond roof deliver both durability and character.

This facade is a stand-out on the street, see if for yourself at our Coolum 302 display home in Oran Park.

Carolina 2 281 - Grande Hamptons

9. Grande-Hamptons Facade

The Grande-Hamptons façade combines coastal charm with larger-scale architectural impact. Featuring a striking gabled portico, square columns and layered materials, this façade delivers a welcoming yet sophisticated street presence ideal for wider homesites.

Waverly 324 - Farmhouse

10. Farmhouse Facade

Inspired by chalet-style architecture, the Alpine façade combines natural textures, feature gables and strong roof forms to create a warm and welcoming street presence. Face brick, cladding and a Colorbond roof deliver both durability and character.

Byron 323 - Metro

11. Metro Facade

The Metro façade embraces sleek, modern design with minimalist detailing, clean lines and contrasting materials. Combining face brick, cladding and a tiled roof, it creates understated street appeal with a contemporary urban edge.

Cayman 287 - Manhattan

12. Manhattan Facade

Inspired by inner-city architecture, the Manhattan façade features sharp lines, rendered Hebel and contrasting cladding for a bold, modern aesthetic. A Colorbond roof completes the refined design, delivering strong architectural street appeal.

We utilised the Manhattan facade on the Cayman 287. Mixing render and tile with contemporary house colours like black, grey and white, the Manhattan facade stands out in the best of ways.
