Window in front gable
Comments (19)Gothic is characterized by its use of vertical proportions. If you have the windows and trim properly designed, the little gee-gaw isn't necessary, IMO! If you really feel something above the second story window would be helpful, look at the round window in the photo above....See MoreFake gable vent
Comments (4)I get the impression that you are describing the view from the outside. Yes? How about a photo of the inside. It may be possible to make an opening from there. Tracy...See MoreIdeas on adding a gable over our front doors and window above them
Comments (7)I agree a gable will look all wrong for this style of house and so are the doors and that arched trim is also wrong over the door. Google modern house entryies and see what might work I honestly have no idea wahy you would want to cover a window at all. I could see a cedar 2 step deck at the front with a flat extension maybe over the door and attached to the jut out on the right . IMO a new paint color and trim would make a huge difference along with the new doors....See MorePorch - Gable Pitch? Window Size?
Comments (44)The OP's cornice return takes the poor man's cornice return one step further from a classical return by using an aluminum gutter instead of a molding. That forces the gutter at the return to protrude from the rake, an odd configuration since the gutter has no function at that location. I guess it could be called a "gutter return". The old solution was to have half round gutters suspended from the eave by brackets and the gutters did not return at corners. How the corner boards meet the cornice returns will be an important detail. I would not trust your architects with this detail. Here is a corrected elevation without distracting material patterns and simple strong round Tuscan columns. If the big ideas are well executed, the little ones will follow. Now if you could rotate this design on your own computer... That would allow you to see how the hipped roof falls away as you approach the house....See MoreMistman
