Feature ideas and inspiration needed for portico

Page 1 of 1
Hi, as part of design guidelines I require a 3rd building material.

My facade has two, I'd likely incorporate a 3rd in the portico pillars.

Thought about face brick etc. Anyone else have good ideas based on the style attached??
Isnt the portico/balustrade ticking that box? If you do anything more, I think its going to detract rather than add interest...
Requires a 3rd material. Currently only render and cladding
As per what alymai has said, but I would do the brickwork now and if you didn't like the effect I'd wait a couple of years and then render over it.

I definitely don't want to do anything..... The display home has the painted timber rafters as a feature but i doubt they will accept.

Might do light grey face brick, thought about stone post bases as well
Something like this with stone base portico.
