I'm not very clear about your posting. Is that picture of your house, because it's already Tudor style. If not, maybe post a picture of your house. Tudor is more than just a few bits of wood trim: the style calls for steep gabled roof lines, big chimneys and usually, brick or stucco walls. Is your house like that?

No this is just an example. Our house is still being built and is actually a gambreled roof.

He really likes the white wash look with contrasting dark beams.

Post a photo of your house as it is. I wouldn't just slap some boards on any other style of home to call it a tudor.

Our walls are going to be wood siding. That's one of the things I'm wondering. Is it tacky to have some features of the tudor home despite the all over design not being a tudor design? It's really hard for me to picture in my mind what he is thinking and how it will look.

Yes! If you want a Tudor style home you design a Tutor style home from the beginning.

Thanks, that's all I wanted to know millworkman and calidesign 👍

I suggest getting a trained professional involved in your project. From what you describe, there is potential for a train wreck; but it could be pulled off with the right architect involved.
