I don't know what style you're trying to achieve but you could go the cottage look. Paint the house white with soft duck egg windows and a new solid front door. Image attached from lilyallsorts.com. If budget permits install a window top and bottom to the right of the front door. If not, a pastel coloured bench underneath with pots and have wisteria or something going up the wall to give it some interest. I would also replace the window above the porch to match those on the left (and reduce the size) and rebuild the porch. I don't know your budget or what style you are after but painting the house and windows and introducing plants etc would go a long way to help.

A new light-weight extension on top of an existing house from the 90's
Q
(0) comentarios
NEW PROJECT: Built in the 90's this post-modern house was conceived in the spirit of its time. Its top floor had a classical Greek-inspired coronation which seemed witty and clever at the time, but it gave the house a very dated look. Even worse, its shape and volume, blocked the amazing sea views of the mediterranean from the house. Rardo architects proposed to demolish this old volume and to create a new floor on top. Taking elements from the existing metallic structure at the ground floor we proposed a light roof with a glass perimeter. The concept was to create a total open plan space, so its owners could enjoy from this new elevated study-living space to retrieve and enjoy the views with friends and family, and relax. Enjoy! #sitges #design #architecture #barcelona #castelldefels #rardoarchitects

Buenas noches gestión estética! Muchas gracias por tus comentarios e ideas aportadas, la verdad es que estamos muy ilusionados con el proyecto pero también es cierto que es una reforma de cierta envergadura por nuestra intención de actualizar y hacer más cómoda la vivienda (en la actualidad no cuenta ni con ducha!) pero a la vez intentar mantener los elementos estéticos de la época que le confieren el encanto que tiene al piso. Agradecemos cualquier asesoramiento ya que las reformas las emprenderemos nosotros mismos, sin ningún arquitecto o interiorista que lidere el proyecto, contrataremos directamente a los profesionales que han de ejecutar la obra, por lo que nos surgen muchas dudas de la mejor opción estética / económica / práctica en diversos elementos. Adjunto otro elemento en el que no llegamos encontrar la opción ideal, hay 2 salas que están separadas también por la misma marquetería que en el dormitorio y unos armarios a ambos lados. Nos gustan estéticamente (no en ese color quizás) pero seria más practico que las 2 salas no estuvieran separadas (una estaría destinada a comedor y la otra a sala de estar), por los que nos planteamos o eliminarlo todo (con dolor en el corazón) o una opción intermedia como vaciar solo la parte central, o la parte central y uno de los laterales. ¿Consejo? Por privado (si se puede hacer esto aquí) podría enviar plano completo del piso y más dudas que tenemos! Gracias!

@Yolanda gracias. La verdad es que no me da la vida, hay demasiados frentes que atender y tienes mucha razón. Llevaba 2 años sin asomar por aquí...pensé que os gustaría verlo, yo estoy muy contento con el resultado final, es sobretodo un espacio con alma, que late con fuerza y rebosa energía. Y tu siempre fiel en tus comentarios. Gracias ❤️ Ah, estoy mucho mas activo en Instagram, por si me quieres seguir https://www.instagram.com/raul_morlans/

Thanks very much, I am going to more or less try and mimic the windows from the left side to go on the right solid wall, so will look much better. Also going to add a 4th small window to the existing 3 above the porch and extend the porch to the left so it's the width of a all 4 windows. Hopefully that will make it look a bit better? Thought about painting the whole house, but don't like the windows as they are, so looking for some ideas to put in nicer windows, maybe the dark grey ones? Need cost effective ideas really... Thanks for your help

Yes new windows and bigger porch would make a big difference. I also think cladding the top half and having slightly different colour cladding to the render to create a tonal scheme would look fab. Just adds a bit of interest.

Also think you're right to add windows to that solid wall for more symmetry.

As mrsmcee has said extending the porch and adding the windows will create symmetry. It may just be me but I'm not overly fond of the windows sitting more on less on top of the porch. If you are extending it, would you consider a flat roof with maybe cornices? The windows are also a different style to the rest although potentially could be better disguised with a different paint colour. To be clear, are you replacing all the windows then as you mention mimicking existing but also putting in nicer ones? Are you also after a more contemporary look as you mention grey windows? The house does say cottage to me but you could completely change the look with a contemporary window

Thanks minnie101, most helpful. Everything depends on the cost... I may well leave the White windows, add new white windows to mimic existing ones, and would certainly consider flat roof porch with corn acing, but I'm sure it will add on quite a lot to the build cost, no? Would you have any idea of cost, a very rough idea would do? Thanks

It's difficult to tell on here but the windows look as if they're wood so can just be painted? I have no idea re cost unfortunately and there aren't that many builders on here either but if you are extending you will need a new roof anyway, I would guess a flat roof with corn icing would be cheaper than tiling but could be wrong. I think the best bet is to get 2 designs drawn up properly that you like the look of. The first being your ideal and the 2nd your make do on budget. Then get quotes in from at least 3 builders for both designs. You can obviously cut down on costs if you paint yourself but I'm not sure what state the windows and render is in. If it's poor, it may well be worth getting it done professionally. Do look at local places for windows, they may well be cheaper. If you know anyone in trades then do take advantage of any trade discounts as it can save a lot

I agree re the cottage look and colours suggested. How about training wisteria on the big bit of wall?

Add another window on the right.
Remove the ribbon window.
Clean the render.

Yes a big window/patiodoors on the right to look over the garden. Like the swooshing curvy path!
I rather like the wide, narrow window and if you made all of the others more like with three divisions that it would look contemporary. Make the windows level with each other, at least one level like the sill.

Thanks for your comments sue, this is actually the front of the property so wouldn't necessarily put sliding doors on the right hand side... I'm going to mimic the windows from the left hand side. Thanks

I would paint the house white or cream, window frames soft olive green. What is the window above the main door? If just a hall way, I would combine this with the front door to make a grand-looking entrance.
