The front facade of every building is the first mirror that reflects to the viewer the compatibility, harmony and sound thinking of the architect who designed it, and the choice of window design is one of the most important things that occupy the mind of the architect and the homeowner.

The choice of window design is one of the most important things that occupy the mind of the architect and the homeowner.

House facade symmetry

Designs for house facades of all kinds vary according to their styles, window shapes and trim, if we talk about designing a house with rounded columns and facade, a window with full or half rotation from above is the most appropriate design that fits the architecture of this house, In the case of a facade with straight columns with sharp corners, square and rectangular windows are suitable for this shape, noting that the formation and diversification in the design of windows between circular and straight in the same perimeter needs great care, accuracy and art; because the failure to create the required symmetry and harmonious vision for the eye loses its beauty and harmony of architecture and composition.

Home Entrance

The entrance is the first facade that meets the visitor when he enters the house, which expresses the welcome and honor of the guest, so it must take great attention from the designer to be decorated to be distinctive and suggest to the visitor that he is welcome and that the brightness and happiness starts from the entrance of the house, villa or palace.

Key points to consider in the entrances of villas and palaces

1- Having a suitable and sufficient space for the design, as the decor of the entrance depends on its size, the small entrance needs a simple and unpretentious decor, preferably in a light color such as white and beige shades with a light floor and central and side lighting to suggest the spaciousness and comfort for those who pass through it.

When the entrance is large, the options are many in terms of colors, lighting and stones used to decorate or clad it, stone, both natural and artificial, is the most suitable for villas and palaces because it lasts long and does not need to be renewed.

Exterior facades and different designs

The exterior facade is the reflection of the inner beauty of the residence, whether it is a villa or an apartment building, so it was important to determine a design that suits our oriental character and at the same time suits the artistic sense of the owner of the place

Exterior facade designs have multiplied a lot and branched out greatly and it became possible to quote ideas and add to them with more ideas to suit the personal taste of the individual.

meaning that the process does not fall under the banner of transportation and copying only, and this is what we notice a lot in front of our eyes because exterior designs took new and varied ideas from modern to classic to Islamic to European .... Let's see some of the designs for these many labels and see what is new and what ideas can be taken from each type, including:

Modern Design

It is characterized by extreme simplicity with some touches that are a little strange but beautiful, and the extreme simplicity and color harmony give the facade a breathtaking beauty.

The use of natural stones for the exterior design of facades is in itself an innovation despite the passage of time on this type of design, but the eye does not get tired of it because it adds in all directions brilliance, beauty and luxury to the place.

Keeping in mind that a design that is characterized by simplicity gives a comfortable impression to the eye, and the most can be achieved in a luxurious design that is a little complicated.

Moroccan design with an Islamic theme

The Moroccan decor is characterized by a beautiful and unique Islamic character, where the facade is characterized by windows with limited space and takes rectangular and semicircular shapes with angled walls, taking into account the planting of palm trees on both sides of the main entrance.

Most of the designs take the traditional form of the old building, the rectangular facade with right angles with the use of wood in some parts, especially the balcony roof as a pergola.

European Design

Some of them take the beautiful uncomplicated form with attention to the green space surrounding it. As for the design, we notice that the use of glass spaces represented in windows and external entrances is large due to the lack of privacy like the Arab countries in most houses there is not a fence separating between each other and the space is open to everyone, so the interest in the green space there is great and the use of some classic forms in modern designs gives a kind of change to the eye as in the design of windows.

The use of circulation in a terrace or balcony also gives more beauty than traditional angular shapes with windows designed to fit them.
