Architectural Facade Redesign in Farmington Hills, MI
Sometimes the inside of a house works perfectly.
But the outside still feels wrong.
Homeowners in Farmington Hills often say:
“The house just doesn’t look right from the street.”
This is extremely common with homes built between the 1930s and 1960s. Over the years, many houses receive partial updates—new siding, replacement windows, porch changes, or additions. Each change may seem small, but together they can distort the original design.
In neighborhoods like Wood Creek Farms, Ramblewood, Forest Park, Hunters Pointe, and Independence Commons, many homes have experienced these layered updates.
Architectural Facade Redesign corrects the entire exterior composition so the house feels balanced, intentional, and timeless again.
I’ve served Farmington Hills since 2015 as an owner-operated architectural design studio. I’m also a licensed Michigan builder and Best of Houzz winner. Facade redesign is one of the most effective ways to transform a home without rebuilding it.
Benefits of Architectural Facade Redesign
✔ Dramatically Improved Curb Appeal
The home looks intentional and balanced rather than pieced together.
✔ Restore Architectural Integrity
Facade redesign reconnects the home with its original design logic.
✔ Avoid Costly Trial-and-Error Renovations
Instead of experimenting with siding or trim changes, you get a clear architectural plan.
✔ Increase Property Value
Homes with balanced proportions and thoughtful exteriors tend to stand out in the neighborhood.
✔ Long-Term Design Confidence
You know the exterior will age well and remain visually stable.
Why Facades Drift Off Course
Most homes do not lose their curb appeal all at once.
Instead, problems accumulate gradually:
windows replaced with different proportions
rooflines altered during additions
siding changes that ignore original massing
oversized garages dominating the facade
entries that shrink or expand incorrectly
These changes disrupt the balance of the house.
Architectural Facade Redesign restores order by looking at the entire elevation as one composition.
Our Process / Approach
1️⃣ Elevation Analysis
We study the existing facade carefully, identifying proportion problems in rooflines, windows, and overall massing.
2️⃣ Design Diagnosis
We determine what specifically makes the house feel “off” from the street.
3️⃣ Facade Redesign Concepts
New elevation studies may include:
window realignment
porch or entry redesign
roofline correction
trim hierarchy adjustments
simplified material strategies
4️⃣ Visual Renderings or Concept Drawings
You see the redesigned facade clearly before any construction begins.
5️⃣ Implementation Strategy
You receive guidance that contractors can follow during renovation.
What Facade Redesign Typically Addresses
window spacing and proportion
roof pitch and dormer placement
entry placement and scale
material balance and hierarchy
garage integration
addition alignment
Even modest adjustments can dramatically improve how a house reads from the street.
Pricing for Architectural Facade Redesign
Pricing varies depending on the complexity of the house and the level of design visualization required.
Typical ranges:
Facade redesign consultation and concept study: low four figures
Comprehensive facade redesign with visual renderings: mid four figures
Final pricing depends on the number of design concepts and visualization depth.
Facade redesign often prevents expensive exterior renovations that would not solve the underlying design issue.
