We have purchased our building plot and have just received the drawings from our architect.
I wanted to gather some opinions and suggestions. Perhaps you have some ideas or feedback.
We also received another version of the plans with the same layout, but 1 meter (3 feet) shorter in length and 0.5 meter (20 inches) less in depth, although the floor plan remains the same.
We are considering positioning the house angled toward the street and orienting it more toward the south. The zoning plan / building permit allows this.
The stream on the property is piped underground, and building is permitted up to the stream boundary, provided no structural loads are placed over it. A terrace is allowed in that area.

This might help you get closer to defining your own, previously unknown style. You can also check out prefabricated houses to see which direction appeals to you (of course, make sure to verify compatibility with the local building permit / planning permission first).
In any case, I would remove the many window muntins and small windows. The bay window is already rectangular, so consider enlarging the living room to about 21m² (225 sq ft) and definitely eliminate the different roof shapes and pitches. This will change the overall look significantly.
Simply remove the oddly shaped canopies all around the house, and for the entrance, consider extending the garage roof as a canopy. This could then be designed differently, for example by using a different color or material.

Which style mix do you mean exactly?All of them (or: pick one) – in Scandimerican mullet farmhouses, everything is included that you’d expect in a Bollywood medical drama. pagoni2020 schrieb:
Where is the picture?The Eksjöhus Rosenhill has probably undergone the censoring process all external links go through. Why bother with a stone house copy of a wooden house original, instead of just building with the original provider?
