Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 23, 2018 6:06 pm Hello, we are in the process of working with a builder on a custom double storey home and have initial plans back. We have some concerns with the facade, particularly the top storey. It is a twin (two) gable roof but I am concerned the left side doesn’t look in proportion with the right side gable. There seems to be a huge distance from the top of the window to the gable strapping. I have attached a pic to get your thoughts. In your optionion would it look better to have a hip roof line on the left and a gable on the right or keep the two gables but bring the strapping down on the right hand side? Any advice would be really greatly appreciated!
