Poll: Which front elevation do you like better?

We are in the process of designing our house and we are learning that every little choice can add to or subtract from the bottom line.  Even the type of roof line can add thousands to the cost of the house.  We have been back and forth with the architect for the last two weeks and we finally are getting close.  Please help us decide which option to choose.  TIA!

[Poll]

Re: Poll: Which front elevation do you like better?

  • I actually really like option A and not just because it's cheaper (although it's definitely a nice perk!)

    P.S. I just adore the porch!!

  • I chose B. It kind of looks like our own. But I dislike the fact that it is pricier.

  • I personally would go with Choice A in this case, because B while more expensive doesn't do enough (in my opinion) to change the overall aesthetic of the home enough to warrant that much of a price difference, ya know?

    Both are attractive, yet similar. Do A girl, save the $$ and throw it towards a pimped out kitchen! (or shoes! LOLOL)

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker ...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)
  • I like A better!  I like the roof slopeing (that does not look right? to slope - how do you spell that?!) down on the sides, as opposed to down in front.  When it slopes in front, it sort of overwhelms the house, all I see is ROOF. :-)

    both are really beautiful, though!  I'm jealous!!

  • I too like choice A. I decided on which one I liked before I knew which one was more expensive, so price definitely had nothing to do with my choice. I think choice A is more aesthetically pleasing. I think there is too much roof going on in choice B and it takes away from the look. But overall they are both beautiful, so you can't go wrong either way. Good luck with everything!

  • Aesthetically, there isn't much of a difference for me so I would go with A.  With that being said, make sure there isn't a difference in construction or life expectancy.  My parents got a crappy roof job done and now it's costing them $10,000 to replace.  If choice B is better quality and will last longer, I might spend a little more upfront.  Otherwise, choice A all the way.

  • Thanks, ladies!  We were leaning towards option A and you all confirmed our choice!  I appreciate it.  :-)
