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

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 it faces.

Best regards,
Sabine

How precisely can I incorporate contrast or height differences there?

You can bring a "slanted" facade to life with eye-catching elements so that the slant becomes less noticeable.

A plaster facade provides a nice backdrop for a taller plant on the left side, for example, a climbing rose on a trellis, a small ornamental tree, or bamboo. Next to it, place a lower bench. This way, the plant frames the left area, creating a harmonious connection to the first window.

I’ll make a sketch...


Best regards, Yvonne

The trick with the small trees where the front door is placed in the middle is rather simple, but effective.
