Mediterranean to Modern Exterior Home Makeover

A Complete Architectural Identity Transformation

The transformation from a traditional Mediterranean-style residence to a striking modern masterpiece is one of the most dramatic exterior home makeovers in Stones Design LLC's portfolio. Executed in partnership with Art Harding Construction and led by designer Marilou Stones, this Mediterranean to modern exterior home makeover is a breathtaking demonstration of what visionary design and expert craftsmanship can achieve.

The home's original exterior featured warm yellow stucco, terracotta roof tiles, ornate arched windows, and lush tropical landscaping. While charming in its own right, the look had grown dated, and the homeowners were ready for a bold modern exterior home that would stand out in the neighbourhood.

The Modern Exterior Home Design: Every Element

Stones Design LLC and Art Harding Construction approached this project with a comprehensive modern exterior home design strategy, transforming every visible element of the property.

Facade, Roof, and Windows

The warm yellow stucco was replaced with a crisp, bright white facade — instantly shifting the home's personality and creating the clean, contemporary canvas the design required. The terracotta roof tiles gave way to sophisticated charcoal alternatives, providing bold contrast and a sharp contemporary edge. The ornate arched windows were replaced with clean-lined modern alternatives, flooding the interior with natural light.

Hardscaping and Landscaping

At ground level, the classic brick walkway was replaced with elegant grey pavers accented with grass inlays — a refined, contemporary choice that extends the home's design language all the way to the street. The overgrown tropical plantings were replaced with a minimalist design featuring structured hedging and strategically placed palms that complement the home's new aesthetic without competing with it.

A Property Reborn with Modern Curb Appeal

The finished exterior is a revelation — a property that has been completely reborn while honoring the quality and scale of the original structure. This Mediterranean to modern exterior home makeover stands as proof that even the most traditional-looking homes can be reimagined for contemporary living.
