What do you call the front view of a building?

A Façade or facade is generally one exterior side of a building, usually the front. It is a French Word which means "frontage" or "face".

In architecture, the façade of a building is often the most important aspect from a design standpoint, as it sets the tone for the rest of the building. From the engineering perspective of a building, the façade is also of great importance due to its impact on energy efficiency.
