ᐅ The front-facing windows are suboptimal and need to be improved.

Hello,
we have already started construction and the shell is complete. Unfortunately, looking back now, I find the front elevation bothers me. Even during the planning phase, I wasn’t completely convinced, but I was repeatedly told that the house should be designed from the inside out. We have now decided to accept changes costing up to 4,000 EUR to avoid living with this discomfort for a lifetime. Unfortunately, the changes can only be made after the building acceptance. Many things can be done by my husband, who already has a lot of DIY experience. Every time I look at it, I feel like giving up, and I hope you can save the façade with some great ideas.
I’m uploading a few pictures.
Thank you very much in advance

That could also be considered, but I think that would be too much black for my taste.

Modern two-story house front: white plaster, dark window frames, gray tiled roof, garage on the left.

As a fan of symmetry, I like the first option best.
... but I would also like to mention another aspect:

You can "improve" something by aligning it with the usual standard, but you can also emphasize the unusual, existing features and highlight individuality. 😱

I also think the first one is the best; it immediately looks nicely symmetrical. I really like that.
But it’s a matter of personal taste. 🙂
Choose what you like best, not what the forum members prefer!

The graphics are misleading. Window panes usually appear black from the outside unless it is already dark and the lights are on inside.

That’s also my favorite. The other two are too boring for me – a poor attempt to create symmetry.

@Costruttrice That was the first option we favored for a long time, but we are not sure how to proceed on the left side. Should we extend around the corner or stop at the corner? The garage location is not yet decided, so it could be on the right or left side… We also considered using wooden panels, but since we don’t have insulation and instead have thick walls, the wood would stand off.
