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!

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!
