Also, if important there will be a cross bar and decorative timber pattern at the top of the entryway but it is not showing up yet in the rendering

I would prefer that shed roof above the three windows extend across the entry with no posts or gable. They look mal-proportioned in every way and the more "ditches' around gables, the more potential problems with rain/snow melt. Just extend the shed a bit deeper to cover more of the windows, porch and step. No posts, rock pillars or gable and timber trim. Consider unifying all the gables or it will become too busy. Put in a gorgeous front door to draw all the attention and be sure any lighting is sufficiently large to make a statement.

Those stone bases at the entrance IMO are too tall. I would confine them to the height of the rest of the stone around the base of your home.

Your home design doesn't have a weight canopy like some of the homes below. I think 8" will work. See below that I have adjusted your drawing to reflect the change.

BTW where do you plan to locate the house numbers for your home?????

General design of the house is set at this point as far as gables/entryway go. Amount of stone / placement is still being debated though so I appreciate the quick photoshop BeverlyFLADeziner. We are also debating dropping the metal roof accent. House numbers will most likely be somewhere on the garage since we are on a flag lot and angled to where that is visible from the road.

The stone around the house is too high. It should look like it's the foundation and not grandpa's pants up to his chin. Have the stone go only to where the floor in the interior starts and do as Beverly suggested for the posts.

What does the gable behind the porch gable do? Does it bring light into the house or is it purely decorative?

And why do you want to emphasize the one garage bay with a gable?

I would limit the height of the stone at the house and the portico posts to a foot. The tall stone is a modern builder cliche completely at odds with the traditional style of the house.

I agree for sure about the height of all the stone.

Exactly, the stone is to imitate a water table which is typically foundation height.
