We are doing a renovation on an extremely awkward looking mid-century-ish home.

We have decided to use authentic Shu Sugi Ban siding for the areas visible from the street, and matte black metal siding for the back and side. Alternatively, we could do metal on the upper part of the street facing front (which would give a cost savings).

I would love to hear some thoughts on which direction to run the siding! All the same or should we switch it up, and if so, where?

NOTE: The east facing side of the 2 storey part of the house is fully visible from the street, but the west side is not.

Also note - this is one of our first mockups. Changes have been made to window sizes, and obviously cladding materials.

Going for a modern minimalist vibe.

Thanks so much!
