A Bungalow Reworked with Black Windows and New Proportions
Across two phases, this bungalow moved from conventional white windows to a sharper black exterior palette, with structural opening changes and long basement strip windows added later.
The Colour Change Was Only Part of the Transformation.
The first phase replaced the existing white windows with black-exterior, white-interior units and included structural changes to selected openings. The dark frames create a consistent line across the red brick while keeping the interior finish light.
A later phase focused on the basement, where long horizontal strip windows were cut into the block wall. Their proportions are deliberately different from the upper windows, giving the lower level more daylight without trying to imitate the original openings.
This project is a useful example of phased work: the exterior language remains consistent even though the basement changes were completed later. Homeowners planning a similar update can compare replacement window styles and read about opening preparation.
