5) Suggestions for improvement:

Is it possible to re-color the walls as well? I think a much darker tone suits the brutalist style more, might even make the grunge effect & blue windows not so striking. Probably remove all the satellite props and leave a few solar panels up there, also might look nice with another hedge at the back.

I guess this one could be improved with a complete retexture. Then you can also re-color the walls, the windows...

It looks medium wealth, medium density. It would require complete texture, prop, and lot overhaul to look high wealth, low density. It could also be a low density office.

The weird thing is that the top floor totally lacks windows on one side. That would be a big no no for a house. Besides that the smallish roof on top of the veranda is way too big. Looks kind of like an industrial type of thing from a far. The window illumination is dreadfull. Probably should represent something like this: http://www.byggfag.no/Installations/fwk/thumbs/117531_thumb.jpg?1395648177

5) Suggestions for improvement:

Dunno where to start with this one. Less blue windows for sure and if it's supposed to be high end housing, less grunge. The large glass front does feel weird as well as the lack of windows on some walls. I don't mind giving the retexturing a try, though I'm not sure if that'll get it to look right.   So cleaner looking walls and less blue (and more interesting) windows? Any changes to the windows - add any, change the size or something like that?

5) Suggestions for improvement:

Reclassify it, replace yellow with a neutral sandy color, remove flower pots, replace lawn chairs with benches or brutalist fountains/ponds.

If commercial, give it a giant parking lot (requires new, bigger parking props without disabled spots) with sedans and cheap sporty cars.

Really? To me it looks quite western.
