Need help on exterior color and materials

4 years ago

Here's the front elevation:





Here's the inspiration:




Considerations:


1) replace the lower horizontal siding with batten board

2) use a horizontal divider between the lower and upper batten board sections

3) use a horizontal divider between the upper batten board section and shakes

4) using the same dark brown color for the shakes section, batten board sections and dividers

5) the siding will be painted but I will be using stained cedar garage doors and front door


Any concerns with too much uniformity of color or materials?


Finally, the rear elevation present more of a challenge given it's 3 story nature. The upper slanted windows (marked with red X's) will change to rectangles but other than that I am concerned with batten board overdose here:




Any thoughts appreciated in advance! The house is currently being framed FYI.
