Designing Your Custom Home, A Builders Perspective- Front Elevation, Part 2
This elevation has lot's of great detail! Round turret for interior stairway, Porte Cochere, wrought iron doors, columns, round top windows, precast details and curved balustrade. You want a front elevation that reaches out and grabs ya!
I'm not a big fan of front side entry garages but with the trend toward smaller lot's perhaps, it's unavoidable. I prefer a true side entry garage, the mess is away from the more formal areas and positioning the garage on the side of the home allows for more landscaping, which softens the front elevation.
Homes with motor courts and front side entry garages have too much hardscape for my taste. All those pavers just takes something away from the street appeal.
