people are removing those bump out windows. How is this giving you more space?

I struggle to imagine where you are going to put your bump-out windows. Windows are better under eaves, because then you have protection against the rain. If you bump out the windows, you'll need to make the roof of the gable extend out, too. That will ruin the balance of the facade. Or, you could put a rooflet over the bumped-out windows, but that would look funny given the gable finishes you currently have.

The bottom picture shows a gable with worse proportions than the one on your house. I don't think this is a small tweak, I think this is a major change of what are pleasant proportions. Of course, if the AI of your house is wrong, then none of us can comment, because we don't know what your house looks like.

You have to make a decision of if you want a real life or a fake life.

ChatGPT will give you a fake life, a competent design professional will give you a real life. Give your life some intergrity and get off the intenet.

I'm not feeling the whole. More of individual different features. Is this a plan idea not yet a building?

An earlier post from Feb. explains the situation.

The bump-out is designed as a cantilevered window extension, with a finished space measuring approximately 13 inches deep and 6 feet wide. It will be in a dining room, this added depth allowing for more comfortable chair movement. .

This type of feature has become increasingly popular in our area because it adds usable space. As for zoning a cantilevered window unit (or bump-outs) are often permitted to extend into front and rear yard setbacks, as long as they project no more than 24 inches from the exterior wall and do not exceed 8 feet in width along the wall. They won't count towards our lot coverage.

Dan, our house is being built in Sept. Everything is approved, but we can make changes. We have walked through homes with a similar floor plan.

This is what I was thinking- maybe 2 feet holding window or none.

This is a similar house plan — we moved the front steps to the side, the fireplace to the side of the house, and shifted some of the windows around. Since it’s reverse living, the top floor has the kitchen, dining room, family room, master suite, and main living areas. We added a curve above the deck window and a curve at the lower-level windows. I’d really love to see a mock-up of what it would look like to move the window bump-out from the middle level to the top level in the gable

Even a captain's walk on the roof. Many features are making as appearance. Does this plethora of features continue on the sides and opposite face? There is a transition happening to real architecture for homes in some instances, thank god. This design hasn't settled on anything yet, imo. Where is this bump out being placed? Is it the top right?

As a follow-up, the two-window bump-out will be installed on the upper floor, replacing the current three windows at the top. The bump-out will sit below the gable. On the middle level, there will be two windows without a bump-out. The two windows will be separated. As for the top of the roof- There is a rooftop deck, as this is a beach house being built. Thank you

You are building a beach house. Did you ever consider engaging an architect?

" An earlier post from Feb. explains the situation. "

Not going hunting for this info and honestly the description leaves much to be desired. If you are building a new construction home, post the elevations as similar does not cut it. Context is key.

The original floor plan does not show the floor cantilevered, only a bay window - so a shelf rather than a floor extension. Though the AI rendering (blue house) shows all incorrect window heights, I'm not sure the floor should be extended based on the windows below.

The assumption appears to be an original design made by an architect for it's first build, and thereafter being used by a builder for other locations, where now the architect is absent and you are making changes to the design with the builder - some form of official record needs to be made. So the exact same construction drawings that both the builder and you have copies of - otherwise things get lost on multiple communications (the haphazardous of changes just in your threads shows it is unorganized) - and something will get built that you didn't expect or is different than you "talked" about with the builder.

I can see very significant changes, things like changing the bay window to a cantilevered floor is something that would typically be considered more than an aesthetic change in regards to permitting - looking at the original floor plan it might require a completely different floor framing layout.

In short, the AI picture you posted isn't very similar to what you're planning to build.

That picture above of the old house is from 10 years ago. I don't see how that is relevent.

But there is so much detail of the new construcion, the bumpout window may not make much of a diffence.

I count more than three windows on top so that is confusing as well as you show a square window. It may look odd to have a very wide window on the top floor only. Is it to capture a view?

Similar to what ? Certainly not the original house and a far cry form what AI comes up with Get the architect to give you the elevations for the new look . I have to agree a rip down and rebulid would be cheaper for sure. That silly bumpout gives you nothing and looks silly and even the window styles are not right . AI is not at this time the holder of a design degree and for sure not an architect get a live person to design a real home

The whole thing is a hot mess designed to maximize cross your eyes 'look at me" features that cost money and give very little utility in return.

Start over. From scratch. With a deisgn professional who understands the word "restraint".

Painting it all white would blend everything nicely.
