Exterior appearance is an important aspect that people will consider when buying a home. Allowing personalization of the home’s exterior is an added incentive and likely to be the way of the future as more people will live in high-density urban settings. Creating a mass customized community where the dwellings have common underlying exterior design principles and where buyers are also permitted to have their own imprint on the façade is the trust of this chapter. The specific aspects to be investigated are homogeneity and diversity, principles of designing facades for choice, flexible exterior design according to layout, sustainable energy efficient design principles of facades, and offering a menu of choices for façade elements such as material choices, energy efficient windows, daylight, and ventilation.
