    I see no difference to be honest . I hate voting and not sure what you are asking so maybe at least tell us the differences . I hate going and forth between to pics for sure . Posted sxs at least would be a good way to compare

    Windows and doors should have a style that is continuous throughout the house. Your exterior design looks like you went to Habitat ReStore and found one of each type/style and used them on the house.

    It's like a Where's Waldo game. I see the only difference being in the expression of the porch roof support and left column. What do I win?

    Based on your last thread, you were looking to add a little "modern" spice, and I guess storefront-looking fenestration and a grey faux expression will do it?

    I don't know how much the Bay Area affects your design, there is an abundance of house styles anywhere you go. But if I were to place these renderings based on geography stereotypes, it would be tract home 55+ South Florida.

    Looks like AI designed a "homey" warehouse for robots.

    I don't like the metallic bits on either, which is the main difference, as far as I can see. I dislike it more on B than on A, if that makes a difference.

    In the elevation, Scheme A has two pillars, Scheme B has a right angle support, although the smaller pics are the same in both.

    I like A....more traditional for the Bay Area. B is too Florida Deco for Northern California.

    I agree with tracefloyd - neither of these say Bay area home.

    I'm not a fan of modern architecture, but if I had to build one, I'd prefer something like this:

    11 days is a long time for any OP answers so I would assume they either did not like our answers or do not need help. These types of posters are becoming the norm here maybe just bored and no one to talk to. I happen to love good contemporary design but those 2 pics tell me nothing about design since homes should be designed for how you live first. I think San Fransico has many different home designs so not really sure about the Bay area driving the bus. I love the painted ladies to look at but I do not want to live in one .

    S.F. is it's own subset, the Bay Area is the leafy suburbs surrounding it. Traditionally Monterey Ranch, Spanish Colonial, Craftsman, Eichler, Cliff May.

    tracefloyd is right; and also, Oakland and Berkeley are also part of the Bay Area, and Oakland certainly has both very urban and more suburban-looking areas.

    San Jose and Oakland have very dense urban cores, but drive a few blocks and you have miles and miles of storybook homes and street trees.

    I don't know San Jose at all. That totally tracks for what I know of Oakland.

    I'm from the Peninsula....I was not familiar with the East Bay at all!

    Looks like an ADU. Cities offer free plans for them and these look like what I am seeing in the East Bay. These ADUs lack any personality. I don’t like either of them.
