kinda looks like this

MIddleton Stone

Did you check the stones available from Eldorado Stone?

Contact them with your photos and ask if that is their stone.

Why are you putting on a roof that is 2x the height of the house?

"Name that stone!"

Tom??

Unfortunately, whatever stone you use will look odd with the elevations at present. It does not appear well thought through, deliberate, structural or authentic.

Instead of running that ribbon of stone around some of the base, allocate the stone where it can actually be seen. View the rendering below where I have circled the areas the architect recommends a change in material. Use it for inspiration.

I wouldn't put stone all the way up to the gable as that would make that more "important" than what should be the focal point, the front door. The stone should come up to what would be the first floor.

Stone, as a large mass, should be only on the large central mass of the home. As if the original stone cottage was added to over time. This house doesn’t have a large central mass, unless you count the giant top hat roof.

Has the build already begun, or can you make changes?

I would browse the Generalshale.com site as well as ElDorado Stone site. I think it is similar if not their limestone.

Too many surface materials, too many gables, too much roof.

@sophie wheeler the basement is poured

Then if you’re committed to that, forget stone. Start focusing on ONE single siding material and finding a roof that doesnt shout. It will need to have some texture and variation, so architectural shingles.

Can the attic and roof not be conventionally framed instead of trusses so you can add dormers for a usable second floor? That is a HUGE amount of wasted and unused space overhead. Using trusses dooms it to always being wasted and unused. Plus, the large expanse of uninterrupted roof is pretty detrimental to the overall look of the home. That needs to be redesigned ASAP.

Right now we have a black roof picked out. Do you think it needs to be toned down to a light gray so it isn't drawing so much attention to how big the roof is?

Also would adding a dormer or two in that middle section help break up the largeness of the roof and fix that problem?

We really didn't want a second floor, which is why we designed as a ranch. All of the houses on our street are ranches with high roof pitches.

OMG NO black roof!!

Like Sophie said you need an architectural shingle for such a large roof like GAF Timberline. There are lots of copies of this out there in the roofing world that might be a bit cheaper, but these shingles cost more than a regular 3 tab shingle which will just cheaper your home. You have more roof than you have exterior walls so don't blow this!!

This is Weathered Wood color.

This is how it looks on a home. It's neutral and will work with a variety of exterior colors.

This is Charcoal. I don't think they even offer BLACK.

This is how it will appear on a home. Do you see how harsh this appears? And this picture doesn't come close to illustrating how very much roof you will have.

No one is making you have a second floor but if you don't have trusses you can at leash have an attic which is a great feature and good for resale.

What color material were you planning for the exterior. Selections should be made so they work together. If you were planning white than not having black should be a priority.

The roof color won't change the fact that the roof is overwhelming the rest of the house. Switch to a gable roof and lower the pitch. Also as noted, pick one material for the house. You don't need 3 materials on the front. It adds nothing.

Adding dormers that are fake will not help. Unfortunately what you have right now is a roof with a house attached.

Do yourself a favor before you do anything else and go pick up the book What Not to Build. When I was designing my house, I found it very helpful.

Sorry I can't help with the stone name. But I do like that fireplace a lot! Good luck. I hope someone comes along and answers your original question.

The gold standard for home designs that have large roofs like yours was to have a roof that was covered in wood shakes like you see in these two photos.

So naturally, in selecting a roof material, you'd want to select something that mimics this appearance. That's where the architectural shingles in 'weathered wood' applies. That's why the black color is not typical.

That is not a ranch. A ranch is a single main long axis home no more than 2 rooms deep. It's not a big square expensive two story home in which only the first floor is buit as usable living space.

No stone. A single cladding material. And redesign to take advantage of all of that wasted money being spent overhead. Shingling with $5 bills is a visual that you need to think about in your head. That's pretty close to reality. You're putting tens of thousands into unusable space.

Google images thinks the stone used for the fireplace is Estate Stone Berkshire Buff

This is our neighbor's house next to our lot. Wouldn't you consider the roof pitch etc. similar? I don't think theirs looks bad...What makes mine worse if someone doesn't mind

This shows the same house, top is a perspective -- how people see a structure, and the bottom is an elevation.

The roof is always exaggerated in an elevation view.

SO PPF are you saying it'll look ok? Here is a friend of mine's house which is VERY similar to ours, but the roof doesnt look odd at all.

Plus our side elevation has some interest and it isn't one massive roof.

I'm sorry but roofs should be simple structures on top to keep the water out of the house. The focus of the house should not be the roof, but the house itself. Why do you want the roof to be the star of your house and not your entry?

"...Name that stone!..."

How about...Madelyn for a girl...Melville for a boy...and, of course...Zooey for unisex, or unsure?

Happy to help!

I'd call it "Veneer". Could work for any gender.
