The first will include dark and beige tones.

Use the species of stone that is native to your site or very nearby.

Best is show your elevations ? Where the stone is going etc? Could be anything?

Here is the rendering of our home. The stone goes on the front posts and around the exposed foundation

I wouldn't mind seeing something with a bit more warmth. A bit less gray.: ) more of the coppery wood tone.

" The stone goes on the front posts and around the exposed foundation "

All for sides? If not leave it off.

The areas of the stone look contemporary, the rest of the house looks traditional. Sometimes the two blend and sometimes it is a clash. I have my opinion on which, but I will not share it.

As a side note, there appears to be a lot of gutters and downspouts in the rendering, as if they are used for decorative trim.

Thanks for the comments. What would you change @Moyer? We will keep the hardie plank Iron Grey siding and trim. @Bischak - what changes would make it more cohesive in your opinion? @millworkman, yes stone all 4 sides around the foundation

IMO too many stones already as shown with one for the walkway one for the driveway walk and I agree this style is a bit confused .What style were you going for ?/ All the gables are really traditional or farmhouse is that what you want? make sure you know what your style is before making any choices lilke stone cladding for sure.

We like a transitional style blending some traditional and modern elements. The architectural design is final so can’t change gables or any structural features. We have to make exterior siding and stone decision , hence the post here looking for suggestions.

How about this version?

You ask a complex question. How did you come about this house design?

I like the warmth on the left, minus the copper gutter, not loving stone columns. Needs some editing. ........: )

Not a pro (not even close), but in your first rendering, I would match the columns to the fascia. getting rid of the stone on the columns. I like the second as well (landscaping on first is better).

Thank you all. The consensus seems to be to remove the stone from columns. I’ll bring the stone lower like the second pic and match the post to look like wood. Thanks everyone!

What the heck, may as well show the interior that goes with it?!

By that I mean the floor plan with the feet and inches.
