Exterior of a House- First Impressions are Everything

There are so many beautiful pictures out there for interiors, trying to find inspiration for an exterior is a tough one. So when LBC were asked to gather up some inspiration  for a house here in Melbourne with a modern contemporary edge, we rose to the challenge! See below some inspiration that we found or beautiful modern exteriors.

Made by "Like Butter" balustrade, the reason for this photo is that "Like Butter"make gates aswell as other things and a design of a gate or wall feature could be added to the front of the house.if you look below I like the idea of more of a geometric shape or circles

Water Feature from The Butters which is a design team that design gates, balustrades, water fountains, lights, set design for film and are based in Kensington

Lights Made by "Like  Butter"

But Perhaps Geometric Shapes, circles would look great as a feature in front of the house, side gate or wall, look at this wall panel from here
