Modern Architecture Brings Fall Color Home
In many regions of the Earth, autumn is signaled by leaves changing color before they fall to the floor. Greens give way to reds, oranges and yellows, which makes the passage of time noticeable and beautiful.
These autumnal colors may also be inspiration for a house’s outside, as the illustrations reveal. Within their embrace of bright yet warm colors, these homes add year-round color to their environments.

This project enlarged a little home in rural New Jersey into a bigger house that is also sustainable, meeting LEED and Energy Star criteria for houses. Here is a view of the modern portion of the home, showing how the color wraps round the entire exterior.

Old and new are visible in terms of form (the gable-roofed old part is at the foreground, and also the flat-roofed new part is beyond), but they’re combined by the red-orange color of the horizontal siding.

The entrance is highlighted by a canopy over the porch and from siding with a pure finish. The look is similar to the colors of autumn leaves.

Several colors may also be found in this retreat in Minnesota, where reds and yellows pay the walls below standing-seam metal roofs.

Much of the escape’s gable ends are coated in a burnt red color, but natural timber (providing a yellow appearance) can be used to emphasize certain windows.

These big second-floor dormers can also be covered in the natural wood siding, projecting in front of the red siding below.

At first glance that home in Seattle looks gray from the stucco that covers much of it. However, the wall from the balcony hints at a reddish color that livens up the gray.

Red metal panels lie between windows that are stacked and at different regions. The way that they were inserted in the bigger stucco walls gives the appearance they’re a coating beneath the gray, as if the box were cut for the windows.

Yet in other regions the red is more widespread, extending to the window frames and mullions.

The aptly called Overlook Residence, outside Atlanta, is a modern box using a burnt-orange exterior wrapping around a gray box. An outdoor room on the right would be the attention of the design, providing an area in which to bask in the opinion.

Here is a view of the room, which can be lined with the same orange as the outside facades. This design shows how the autumn colors of an exterior may expand into other areas.

This modern home utilizes an orange quantity on the ground floor like an exclamation point, anchoring the cantilevered volume over it and sitting with the vertical volume beside it.

Seen from the other side, the orange quantity is revealed as an outdoor cooking area that is also a backdrop for a covered patio.

Yet the impact of this orange wall extends to the inside via views through the large sliding glass wall.

This last example takes the outside-inside connection a step farther. The gable end of this pared-down conventional type is highlighted by the rusty orange color.

The inside picks up precisely the same color, like the design is a series of orange gable types between white walls and ceilings.
