For those planning a bungalow, a bonus room above the garage is inexpensive space. Note the first picture in this gallery. It is likely a Tudor Revival that has had the brick painted. The chimney may be a little too ornate, but the street appeal is very high because of the massing, muted palette, roof, chimney, fenestration, entry and vegetation up against the residence. Dormers on a bungalow may function as a skylight.

For those planning a 2-storey residence, it is important to avoid huge expanses of exterior cladding without some way of adding interest. So fenestration, trim elements, stepping the upper story back, etc., transform the design in aesthetically pleasing ways.

 

One thing to remember is that translating your dream through a contractor into the reality of your home should be very carefully monitored by you and especially your significant other! A digital 3D model can make a world of difference, and there are inexpensive ways to get that done.
