Classic rendering: color change
Classic rendering is the most common renovation. It involves redoing the facade render and paint. The examples below show how a simple color change can radically transform a home's appearance.
An 80s house with aging yellow stucco becomes modern and elegant with a light gray render and white window frames. The cost is controlled (40 to 80 EUR/sqm) but the visual impact is considerable.
External thermal insulation
External insulation represents a more significant transformation. Beyond the aesthetic change, it significantly improves the building's energy performance. The examples show homes before and after adding 14 cm of insulation covered with a mineral render.
The additional thickness is visible but well integrated thanks to suitable finish choices. Window sills are extended, roof overhangs adjusted, and the result is a fresh facade that gains in modernity.
Wood cladding: a contemporary style
Wood cladding brings a natural and contemporary touch to any facade. The examples present traditional houses transformed with natural larch or anthracite gray composite wood cladding.
Cladding can cover the entire facade or be combined with render to create a material interplay. This combination is particularly popular for modernizing 60s-70s houses.
Modern extension on existing facade
Some projects combine facade renovation and extension. The visualizations show how a contemporary glazed cube can harmoniously integrate with a traditional house. The contrast between old and modern creates an interesting architectural ensemble.
These more ambitious projects particularly benefit from AI visualization: they validate the harmony between existing and extension before even filing the building permit.
Complete renovation: style change
Complete renovation entirely transforms the architectural style. A traditional house can become contemporary with clean lines, enlarged openings, and modern materials. Conversely, a recent construction can gain character with traditional elements.
These radical transformations are the most spectacular and those where preliminary visualization is most useful: the client must be able to envision the result before committing to work of this scale.
