What is a House Facade?

A house facade is the exterior face of your home — the front elevation that people see from the street. Whether you're building a single-storey or double-storey home, the facade encompasses all the visible elements from the kerb: the roofline, windows, entrance, cladding, and overall architectural style. It sets the tone for your entire home and plays a significant role in your property's street appeal and long-term value.

Popular Facade Styles at Simonds

Modern Contemporary

Clean lines, bold geometry, and a refined minimalist aesthetic define our modern contemporary facades. These designs feature rendered finishes, textured cladding, and large windows that flood interiors with natural light. Neutral colour palettes paired with contrasting accents create striking street presence — ideal for homeowners who appreciate sleek sophistication and current design trends. Modern facades suit a wide range of block sizes and are particularly popular across Adelaide's newer growth corridors.

Coastal & Hamptons

Inspired by relaxed beachside living, our coastal and Hamptons-style facades bring light, warmth, and a sense of easy elegance to any streetscape. Feature weatherboards, pitched rooflines, and classic detailing give these homes a timeless quality that's equally at home in Adelaide's coastal suburbs and the scenic landscapes of the Fleurieu Peninsula. If you want a home that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive, this style delivers effortlessly.

Acreage & Country

For those building on larger blocks or in South Australia's regional townships, our acreage and farmhouse inspired facades blend rustic warmth with modern convenience. Gable features, board and batten cladding, and pitched rooflines evoke the charm of country living while the interiors remain open, light-filled, and thoroughly contemporary. These designs are well suited to the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley, and Mount Barker surrounds.

Classic & Traditional

For buyers who prefer a more enduring aesthetic, our classic facade range draws on traditional architectural elements — symmetrical windows, rendered brick, and refined detailing — to create homes that feel established and elegant from day one. These styles have broad appeal across Adelaide's established suburbs and blend beautifully with existing streetscapes.

How Do I Choose the Right Facade for My Home?

Choosing a facade comes down to three things: your personal style, your block, and your neighbourhood. A great facade works in harmony with all three. At Simonds, our New Home Specialists will guide you through our full range of facade options including exclusive styles available within our Emerge, Elevate, and Elite ranges to help you find the design that feels right for your home and your budget.
