I could use your opinions on this house I'm working on :)

Okay, so this is a house WIP that I recently found in my folder that I forgot about and started working on again. Pictures are of both the front and back yard. And this is very much a work in progress so anything crappy you see already I’ll most likely be getting rid of soon enough :P

Anyway I am absolutely clueless when it comes to modern houses so I’d like your opinions: Do you like having a two-story window above the main story?

Or do you prefer the one square story window above the main story?

Feel free to give opinions and input. It will be very much appreciated :)

  • I'm different, I like the single windows. It still gives the impression of space and light but in a more compact way without wasted space. I think the double ones look too tall.

    That aside, I rarely download modern, but this one is gorgeous.
  • I agree with @Pary on the single windows :)

    The double window seems very "busy" to me, but that's just my opinion :)
  • Love the original inspiration house. You've done a good job of recreating it.

    I would make the chimney shorter though by using a half wall on the top instead of a full height wall.
  • I'm with pary and polrbear on liking the single windows. I always prefer a shorter roof and I love using friezes to add height. So, though the first is gorgeous if playing with an actual second story, I really, really like the second version best. Plus, I love that inspiration pic with the brick and wood combination that way!
  • @ciane and @socoolsim
    You both are making me debate on whether or not to go back to the single frieze above the first level. The double windows are two friezes on top of each other instead of a livable space so now I’m rethinking the house design. Lol :p
