Next time you're looking to hire home builders, ask 'em whether the house they're going to build for you will be with the same or better quality materials and methods as they'd use for their own house . . . and watch 'em wiggle.

Included among remodel home design challenges in this house design project –
High shed ridge to front wall, set high to get the biggest frame of view out to a beautiful mountain valley
Low-slope to roof with relatively short L2
No character of any sort in our opinion
Hard to gain a focus
A slab on which we were to fit a 2-vehicle garage with habitable above

Here's where we ended for an Elevation home plan online to Front Of House . . . .
Our replies to remodel home design challenges in this house design project –
Leave the roof lines as is, dealing with consequential short wall face above the shed ridge by applying roof dormers of a particular home design to define an L2, add more daylight to L2, get the interior of L2 a little headroomier. And add character.
For character, we went more or less Classical with overdoor and overwindow features. Neither the first nor the last time we're presented with an opportunity to formalize a look with Classical aspects, one must play with the options until visual satisfaction comes fully around - appropriate to the facade and site and setting, functionally useful, proportionate, balanced, generally symmetrical, clarity of functional expression, etc. Since front-facing doors could become visually conflictive, confusing, we slightly overdid the main entry lest doubts arise about its identity.
The addition over the existing slab-on-grade is meant to look a bit newer than the main house itself and still belong. Even though the addition appears more massive than the house, there's no doubt which is which - keeping the garage vehicle doors down lower in elevation from the main entry helped a lot.
. . . . . . . . .
The new interior gained a great space especially in lines of sight and openness majorly from the newly enclosed front porch area. While we had at least one final, crucial (in our minds) benefit of interior home design to bring to our work, clients were satisfied with our achievements to that point and (sadly, to our reckoning) did not take us up on further substantial opening of the interior to both lines of sight and travel patterns.
