The Latest Trends Styles Home’s Exterior

Since most people only see the outside of your home, you’ll want to make a good first impression by choosing an exterior product and style that has great curb appeal. Whether you choose natural or synthetic materials, your exterior should also compliment the interior design of your new home.

Just like all home building products, the materials used on the exterior of your home are subject to the latest trends. Here are some exterior products, which continue to remain trendy and stylish because of their durability, sustainability and beauty.

Stone Face

It’s all about getting the right look, which is why many architects and designers are adding a stone or brick face to their home designs, particularly around the entranceway. Most materials can be found in both natural and synthetic versions. Economics generally prevents most from using real stone on the entire exterior, but thanks to new technology you can have your house covered in synthetic stone in less than seven days. After it is sprayed on, it is then carved to make it look authentic

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is a favorite exterior finish, because it is cost-effective,low maintenance and is available in a wide variety of styles and colors. The latest styles in vinyl siding are perfect for any home design, even Victorian-style homes. Most siding companies are able to produce a wide range of realistic vinyl siding products, including clapboard panels, half- round shingles, and rectangular cedar shingles. These styles are all offered in a wide variety of colors that will never need repainting.

Fiber Cement Siding

Another popular house exterior is fiber cement siding. It is actually considered a “green” material because it is made primarily of cement. The latest styles in fiber cement siding include panels made to resemble stucco, wood clapboards, and cedar shingles. Fiber cement is much more durable than wood and is fire resistant. A huge plus in its popularity is that is closely resembles real wood siding and is virtually maintenance free.

Red Cedar

Another trend that seems to be gaining momentum is Western Red Cedar. It is a contemporary, yet classic building material chosen for its natural beauty, versatility, and durability. It comes in a variety of styles, like bevel siding, tongue & groove, lap siding, and board & batten and can be easily stained to create different hues, so you can create a truly customized finish to your exterior.

Finishing touches

Once you’ve chosen your materials, don’t forget about adding color. There are so many exterior paint colors available that you can truly customize your home’s exterior look. Don’t be afraid to use more than one color. In fact, many homeowners are using four or five colors - one for the siding, one for the garage doors, one for the windows and trim and then one for the porches and decks. The impact of color (done right) can add great curb appeal and help create a distinctive look for your new home.

CONTEMPORARY CITY FOR THREE MILLION INHABITANTS

Urban design by Le Corbusier, 1922 Exhibited in 1922 at the Salon d’Automne in Paris, the Contem-porary City for Three Million Inhabitants was Le Corbusier’s first comprehensive urban-planning project. Accompanied by a 100-square-meter diorama, it consisted of a rigidly geometric, centralized orthogonal plan with monumental axes, uniform modern buildings, vast expanses of open space covering 85 to 95 percent of the surface, and a system of highways. The project was seen simultaneously as a breathtaking modern vision and as the destruction of the familiar urban setting. Influence on the project ranged from American gridded cities, Peter Behrens’ work, and Tony Garnier’s Une Cité industrielle (1901–04, 1917; An Industrial Town) to Bruno Taut’s Utopian Die Stadtkrone (1919; The City Crown). By 1922 Le Corbusier was one of the major figures of the Modern movement, and the Contemporary City marked a high point in a period of extraordinary activity. It incorporated two ideas that he had been...

DOM-INO HOUSES

Housing design by Le Corbusier, 1914–15 and later Between 1914 and 1915, Le Corbusier, partly encouraged by his friend Max du Bois, conceived of a standardized system of construction using reinforced concrete, which was to provide the structural basis of most of his houses through the mid-1930s. These were the Dom-ino prefabricated houses with independent skeletons. The frame was to be completely independent of the floor plans of the houses. Derived from the Hennebique frame, it consisted of six thin concrete columns that simply carried two horizontal slabs as the floors. The columns and slabs were connected by staircases. Apart from this structural core of the houses, nothing else was fixed, thus permitting a great flexibility to suit demands on the basis of aesthetics, climate, composition, or view. The floor plan was also extremely flexible, as interior partitions were independent of the grid. This utterly simple and clear “open plan” method did away with load-carrying walls. Suppor...
