Curb Appeal: Silicon Valley Modern

Located on a large lot set against a backdrop of preserved open space, this suburban ranch home’s lackluster façade had zero appeal for its modern-loving homeowners. The main objectives were to abandon the arches at the front porch, create a clearly defined entryway with a strong sense of architecture, and give the home more curb appeal with new garage doors and a mix of modern materials such as aluminum, glass and flush-profile siding.
Project Year: 2017
Project Cost: $150,001 - $200,000
Country: United States

The completed canopy was flashed in aluminum around the perimeter. The rafters were redesigned with a series of extruded aluminum channels that tied in beautifully with the new aluminum garage doors.

The finished enclosure was clad in the same horizontal siding used on the rest of the home. An inset door with a touch-latch feature created a seamless look to the enclosure, while providing easy access to the hose bib and gardening tools hidden inside.

The new garage doors are made of aluminum and glass, materials that combine to create a definitive modern look. After considering steel doors, the clients chose the aluminum and glass option as a more affordable and lightweight alternative.

A key goal of the re-design was to provide more interest to the blank stucco walls at the rear of the home. The client’s desire for clean lines, modern style, and a clear sight line from the kitchen to back garden called for switching out the existing window to a large, uncluttered picture window...
