ᐅ Blank facade, highlighted

Hello,

We are building a relatively small bungalow.

The narrow side of the bungalow, which is the gable, faces the front. The entrance is located there, with two windows on either side. These three elements are positioned more towards the left. As a result, there is a fairly large area of blank facade on the right side, which makes it look asymmetrical.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be added or how it could be designed to avoid looking so empty?

Regards,
Daniel

Can you plant something nice in front? Something green or flowering?

Thank you for your ideas, but I had something a bit more modern in mind.

No idea, maybe something like a wooden element with rhombus cladding.
That could then be repeated somewhere else.

When it comes to plants, I tend to keep it minimal.

The house will have white window trims, and the corners of the house will also be highlighted with white plaster trim.

I've also thought about marking the open area somehow with a square feature, maybe adding the house number along with the street name or something like that.

Modern....
Planting is also modern.
I also prefer, especially because of the entrance area, a bench with planting.
The house facade is asymmetrical after all – the best way to balance this is with contrast and, for example, differences in height, so the house regains its balance.

Brief regards

I don’t think it looks bare at all. I could imagine a nice plant there, for example cherry laurel, rhododendron, or roses, depending on the direction the area faces.

Best regards,

Could you please explain this in a bit more detail?
