Also, we plan to add a detached barn for a workshop/garage near the house. Looking for color/style ideas that would go along with the house since it’s not a traditional farmhouse.

You could add a cupola.

Are you already under construction? If so, how far along?

We are at blueprint stage; need any ideas brought to their attention by Monday/Tuesday to finalize.

I did this quickly, and it's difficult working on such a small image. This clearly needs work, but it's good enough to show the ideas.

I'd go for the wider porch. Because you are doing stucco, it's much easier done now rather than later.

Steepen the front gable roof and change the windows.

Changed door and flanking windows to have the same head height as the other windows, and made the sidelights taller to match.

Remove decorative bracket in gable.

I'd rethink the cedar posts. They are a bit rustic, and not "farmhouse", for your house.

Make porch roof less steep so it's not against the upper windows, and maybe raise the fascia just a bit. I might look best if the porch fascia aligned with the higher fascia to the right and left.

The wider porch and the window change look amazing!

PPF is right; a "farmhouse look" should have a porch rather than a portico. But there are other elements that are equally antithetical to the look you want.

The massing of the house is choppy with no clear structural form or

main house" typical of farmnouses..

The paired windows are a bit odd too. If you're going to put windows that close to each other, the sill and head trim should be continuous. This may just be poor drafting.

Many exterior walls have little or no fenestration. It's not a barn.

Farm houses often have seemingly random but identifiable additions but in this design the randomness is in the upper level which is more typical of builder designed tract houses.

I recommend getting a 3D computer model of the design. I think you would see that the randomness of form doesn't create the vernacular charm you seek.

Where is the project located? I suspect its own a warm dry environment.

@res2 we’re in Ohio.

It seems to me that a farmhouse would be seen from all different directions, as one comes from a barn, garden, or road. And the sides and back of the house should reflect that, and be (almost) as attractive as the front.

I encourage you to rethink the use of stucco as an exterior cladding for your home. The design suggests clapboard siding to me. A good quality vinyl siding such as Everlast is a low maintenance alternative.

This one changes the roof to make it symmetrical.

If the 3 windows above the door open into a tall entry, maybe they could be shorter.
