Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 17, 2015 4:20 pm My head is seriously hurting looking through millions of facade photo's, I just can't decide!

I'm not really a fan of that recent fad of raised no-overhang raised porticos that look a bit like fortifications. The wider in-line portico is a bit more verandah-like and welcoming.
