Here we are

@res2architect We will be using Kentwood King size brick in San Juan. https://www.kentwoodbrick.com/king-bricks So not the thin brick veneer. I'm having trouble figuring out the whole color scheme for the outside. Had to bite the bullet and order the garage door in gray (due to super long lead time). Roof and metal awnings over windows would be most likely something in medium gray. With so much gray going on wooden accents would help soften the look, but I do not want the maintenance that comes with wooden materials, so trying to find alternatives. Attaching pix of front and back elev. Thanks so much

It looks like there is general agreement that the proposed approach by your architect is not the right one for this house. Without knowing more about what would be affected on the inside of the rooms whose windows are being changed, it is difficult to be very directive, but once again, the general idea here is to think about going wider not taller and keep the panes clear, not divided. In a bedroom, there must be an egress, so the style is somewhat dictated by fire code. You need a big enough opening for a human to get in or out. Budget considerations may affect your decision here. Bright white trim combined with your stone is never going to look right, so consider painting the wood trim that cases the unpaintable window frames a transition colour like BM Revere Pewter that will blend with your stone better and still be light enough not to make the white unpaintable parts look too stark. Some additional colour ideas are contained below. Re: your front door, I'm wondering if the sidelights are amber as many were in the 70s. If so, change out the glass first into an obscured but translucent option and see if that solves your lighting issue with the entry. If it still isn't enough, put a some glass in a new door but make sure it is consistent with the era of the house. (some examples shown below.) As others have mentioned, landscaping will also make a dramatic difference. I'm guessing you're in bug country or there would already be an outdoor patio on the outside of the sliding doors of your sunroom. If not, make sure that is part of your landscaping plan. Good luck with your project!

I am anxious to see what others think. I would dress each window separately. the arch window is the focal point of the room, I'd show it off. Looks like a nice view, draw attention to it. I'd find a different spot for the cabinet and TV. ...any photos from further back or the opposite side of the room?
