Bring Your Vision to Life with the Spectra Visualiser

Once you’ve chosen your layout, it’s time to dive into the finer details. The Spectra Visualiser lets you experiment with colours, materials, and finishes, transforming your facade into a real-world visual design.

Step 1: Choose your facade

Start with the facade style you love, or browse others for inspiration. You can even select based on your frontage width to see how the design scales to your block.

Step 2: Select materials and driveway styles

From classic brick to sleek, fully rendered Hebel facades, you can experiment with exterior finishes and pair them with the perfect driveway material.

Step 3: Play with colours and finishes

Customise every detail, from window frame colour or timber, feature cladding elements, entry door styles, and even garage door look. This is where your home’s personality shines through.

Step 4: Save and share

Save your customised designs and share them with friends or family to get their input—or show off your own creative vision.
