Architecture and design studio MDAMMM, has recently completed the remodel of a home that had a nondescript appearance and little aesthetic appeal.

The original home had an exposed brick facade in ochre tones and all other elements featured different grey tones and finishes. The owners of the home wanted to update the exterior of the house, and together with the designers, they chose to re-design the existing home and give it a monochromatic appearance.

The designers decided to color all of the house elements black, allowing the surrounding vegetation to be the accent color.
