Need help with front elevation

sandy0904
hace 9 años
We are working to finalize our plans but can't quite get the front to our liking. The part that is throwing us for a loop is the gable over the front door. We initially did not have it but wanted to bring a little more attention to the front door and also wanted to provide some cover for anyone standing at the front door. The architect drew up that gable but the left portion gets cut off due to the roof of the room to the left. Any ideas on how we can improve the look? The architect has not been much help with this.

    I would look into a different roof rather than hip roof. It being so high takes away from the bump outs.

      Nice floorplan.

      You've got 3 steps in to the front door, then one big step out for the garage. You can ditch the "partial" gable and do a covered walkway that comes out to a distance of just past the first bump. Either a flat pergola style or an actual covered walkway.

      Architects are funny, aren't they? Ours didn't want to touch the design once he figured it was "done" and it just so happened to be "done" once we reached the billing cap.

      Good luck!

      That's a lot of blank roof. A former with some windows might add the interest you are looking for. We have a recessed entry in our plan and tried to make it pop with a few options but I didn't like the little gables. We decided on an arbor (narrow, not a whole big patio sized thing) going across the entryway. Plan is to grow something gorgeous across it (I think arbors need plants)

      A solution would be to not do the little gable but to increase the size of the gable next to it so it extends over to the proposed porch column. This will provide cover to the entry stoop and simplify the roof construction as well as improve the appearance.
