Happy Sunday everyone!
We’re starting the implementation of our project next week. The excavation for the foundation pit will begin. Here is the discussion about it: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/neubau-efh-ca-174-m-grundriss-architekt.32936/
Soon we will have to make decisions about the exterior design—such as color, texture, and window color. I’d like to ask for your opinion again.
Since it’s difficult to summarize everything, I’ll try to describe it more “emotionally.” We want the house to be a bit different. Inside, some special features are planned. On the ground floor, there is only one door—to the guest toilet. All other openings are full height, reaching the ceiling. One wall will be made of exposed concrete, and we want to keep the ceiling concrete as well.
On the upper floor, the roof is open. Instead of drywall with sprayed plaster, we are considering using Heraklith/Heradesign panels on the ceiling.
For the exterior, we also want the house to stand out from the common styles found in both new developments and older neighborhoods in our area. In new residential areas, the standard is gray or black bricks, a rather fine white plaster façade, and windows in anthracite gray / RAL 7016. Occasionally there is a bay window in dark tones and some wooden elements. Deviations from this are already unusual.
In older neighborhoods, you usually find red bricks with white façades and windows.
Currently, our ideas are as follows:
I’ve tried to visualize this as attached. What does the community think?
Are there any concepts for how to ideally put together an exterior design? Do you have alternative suggestions, especially for façade color? Are you aware of other examples of broom-finish façades?
Best regards! mini_g!
P.S. No one with a white façade and gray bricks should feel offended. It’s very possible we will fall back on that—it is a beautiful combination!

Currently, our ideas are as follows:
- Creaton Magnum bricks in copper red engobed finish
- Eaves underside in light gray HPL, with no visible rafters or purlins
- For example, Fundermax 0741NT (Birch Grey)
- Façade with broom-finish plaster in a gray shade with a slightly earthy tone
- Example of broom finish: Google search “weberFassade besenstrich essen”
- Window reveals smoothly plastered, same color as façade
- Base plaster either matching the rest of the façade or offset, smooth and slightly darker
- Windows in gray, for example RAL 7039
- Carport still unclear, possibly matching the color of the eaves underside
- Cladding with rhombus-profile boards

Read it three times, didn’t understand it once.Regarding the “exotic” nature of facing bricks in the local area: they don’t exist here. If anything, there are brick slips. For real facing bricks, a cavity wall with an inner layer of calcium silicate bricks would have been appropriate. However, aerated concrete or perforated bricks have already been ordered.

For real brickwork, a cavity wall with calcium silicate blocks on the inside would have been suitable. However, aerated concrete / perforated bricks have already been ordered. It is common here to use aerated concrete with facing brick.

The aerated concrete / hollow clay brick has already been ordered. So, which is it now – one or the other?

We don’t have that here; if anything, it would be facing bricks. Well, then it’s clear what would be the easiest way to stand out from the usual look of the development. And facing bricks can be used anywhere you could apply render. I’d use them for accent areas – in render color where a subtle look is wanted, and dark where "smokey eyes" could soften the contrast of the window shapes. That way, it would still make a beautiful house, completely without a yellow door.
