TOP 3 TIPS FOR
A FACADE FIX
“If it ain’t broke, don’t
fix it! This house had a
good-quality driveway.
Giving it a lick of paint
made it look like a
brand-new pour.”
“A new fence has
an instant impact on
the street appeal
of the home.”
“Use the pathway
to take guests on
a journey through
the garden, instead
of just straight to
the front door.”

FACADE & GARDEN
A front-of-house face lift has turned
this home from boring to beguiling,
and added energy-saving benefits
Make an entrance
Creating ambience and setting the
tone for the rest of the house was
essential for landscape designer and
landscaper Inge Jabara, who made
sweeping changes to the design of
the front garden. The old brick and
picket fence was removed, along
with overgrown hedges that almost
barricaded the front door. “The new
1500mm high white picket fence is
an ideal height for privacy – but you
can still chat to your neighbours over
it,” says Inge. On the front facade, new
smaller double-glazed modern
windows were installed along with
James Hardie fibre-cement cladding
over the brick. “This allowed extra
insulation to go between the cladding
and the house,” says Jono Fleming.
He chose muted-green Dulux White
Cabbage for the external paint colour
to stand out on the street. A new front
door was installed for a fresh first
impression, with neat timber panels in
a complementary stain concealing the
old-fashioned ‘fancy’ columns.
“The cladding updates
the look of the house
while boosting thermal
efficiency, too”
