Jugador Hill Exterior

February 7th, 2022

Our Jugador Hill home needed some serious vision everywhere you looked, including the exterior! When we purchased the home it felt like a fortress! Our vision was for a light & airy, welcoming exterior that started with removing the 6’ cinder block wall and security gate at the front door.

From there we dove into the hardscape and entrance. Two big ticket items we wanted to change from the beginning, the roof and driveway, ended up not being financially feasible so we took those into consideration in the design process. You could basically drive your car up to the front door and that needed to change! We settled for removing a panel and a half of concrete and created a new approach with oversized poured concrete pavers and a new front porch.

From there it was all about making the tan concrete and brown roof work with our new vision for the front. We chose oversized Arterra Golden White porcelain pavers for the large walkup/porch area that had a nice mix of warm and cool tones. The warmer tones tied in the existing driveway and the cooler tones opened the door for us to incorporate some softer blues, greens and grays with the landscaping! For a more modern feel, we chose an oversized 6“ minus stone in Fossil Gray to line the walkup and complimented it with a mix of evergreen shrubbery (because they don’t go dormant), blue green succulents and a few olive trees.

Meanwhile we honed in on the perfect warm white for our exterior paint, Benjamin Moore, White Dove! We decided to paint the entire house, including the trim, eves and garage doors in the same color. Our thin framed black windows complimented the white exterior and to tie in the roof, we decided to splurge on copper gutters for the front of the house.

The final touches included some new exterior lighting, we went timeless with these more traditional rectangle wall sconces. A new stained black front door brought some depth to the space and this Article Sofa is a nice spot to watch the kids shoot some hoops. Our finishing touch was the 2x6 Doug Fir modern accent fence we added, this brought an entire new dimension to the space and we love the way it turned out! Our favorite part about this transformation, being able to built and entire vision that we love around a driveway and roof we hated originally! Check out our finished product below!
