Hello everyone,
I have read several times that symmetrical facades are not particularly popular among experts.
What is the right degree of asymmetry? The golden ratio? The Fibonacci sequence?
What makes a building interesting, and do you have any examples?
I, of course, designed my extension to be perfectly symmetrical.

To clarify: the living room has nothing to do with the garden or access to it. And yes, there are two steps down into the living room. The entrance to the house is via the porch with more steps. What you see here is the back of the house, i.e., the garden side. The porch has two doors—front entrance and garden access at the rear.
And this is exactly my architect’s design translated into a plan. There was no consultation or suggestions for improvement included in the price either.

barfly66610 Oct 2021 22:28My existing property has an asymmetrical roof, and the garage is "crookedly" positioned—asymmetrical to the house, the plot, the driveway, and even my car... it’s driving me crazy. What was the builder thinking?
Everything in our house is also asymmetrical. But I spent weeks making sure the floor plan was coherent and that it looks appealing from the outside. My general contractor didn’t care about that.
What exactly is your concern now, @In der Ruine?
I would probably split the upper window into three sections, so it doesn’t look wide but more vertically elongated.

I have taken up your idea of the three-part window.
@Snowy36
Your idea wasn’t bad. It should definitely go in the direction of a Swedish-style house.
But on top, there should be a semicircular window for the attic.
