I would use the material circled in green, but I would use the stone in a more honest way.

Is it flat or is it a roof? If the latter use the roof material.., if not use the cladding circled in green

Mark Bishak thank you! What do you mean by “more honest way”?

Diana Bier it is not a separate roof just siding but trying to create a more linear look with the windows

What role are you playing in this? DIY project, builder?

What does your project look like?

Then be consistent and use the same siding on all surfaces.

IMO, stone in a more honest way would mean using stone on the lower level only, not flying in the air on the upper level. Seems counterintuitive, considering how heavy stone is. Perhaps @Mark Bischak, Architect will return and explain.

The little ”returns” on the gables, they should stay the color they are.

It looks like it is too late to use the stone differently than it is.

The material is a single skin aluminum panel, typically used in commercial construction. If you have a roofing suppply house they should be able to help you.

The material appears to be LP Smartside Panel and Vertical Siding.

It looks weird. Stone it.

That is NOT a look to emulate. It's weird and bad.

I’m sorry mark bishak im confused how our stone is terminating wrong? The stone is not just going on the faces it wraps all the way around each gable. I may just not be understanding. This is a rendering by the way of what we are doing. Not exactly what we are doing. I’ve seen lots of stone go all the way up houses in sections so I’m confused.

Oncape and Minardi I get you have an opinion but I only asked how to achieve the look we like. There was literally no point to commenting.

It would help A LOT and minimize confusion if you were to show your project and not someone else's project. Drawings that show the way the house is planned to be built, not something that kind of resembles it no mater how close. You post an image of a house with a two story projected gabled mass that has two stories of stone facade on one side and another exterior finish on the other two sides of the projected gabled mass; the stone is applied as if it were paint and not an actual structural material.

My comment was based upon the image you provided and evidently not upon the unknown actual design intent.

Also pieces of stone masonry spanning above a window opening in reality do not adhere together to magically support the weight of the masonry above; there needs to be a structural member that provides a reasonable visually means of support (sufficient bearing at each end and sized to meet required Load).

The entire "inspiration" would best be though of as "what NOT to do". Get Your House Right: Architectural... book by Marianne Cusato

The picture sure is blurry. But I would doubt the panel between windows to be the same metal roofing as the porch just because the dimension appears the same. The lack of height on the ribs say exposed fasteners, which would not look good on a wall plane. Roof panels would also stick out much more than siding, requiring a deep sill detail under the window, which appears to have none at top and bottom of the panel. Also doubt extruded metal panel cladding is used just for this spot, considering the field siding on the house, where that appears to be a perfect example of LP Smartside.

As far as "connecting" the upper and lower windows with this panel within the stone, that is an aesthetic decision based on the overall house and style. We do not have the OP's actual house.

You may have too many sidings.

The orientation combining both horizontal and vertical is right out of the LP Smartside Panel and Vertical Siding marketing brochure. I am not sure if this "style" was rampant and LP noticed it and decided to meet demand, or if LP is just showcasing the product's ability to rotate, or trying to create a "style" niche for contemporary characteristics jumbled on a vernacular house. But at least one person is doing it with this example.

The number of times a mistake is made does not justify making that mistake again or in the first place.
