Contemporary gable design for renovation - photoshop skills anyone?

Hi guys
Currently in the middle of a home renovation and the builder has recommended that we update the frontage of the house to give it a more contemporary edge.
His recommendation is to create a vaulted window effect on the main straircase window in the middle of the house. I'm finding it difficult to picture so if anyone is able to photoshop the attached image to give me an idea how it will look like it'd be much appreciated.
At present the plan is to render the house in an off white colour.
Thank you!

Comments (59)Hi all I'm Carolyn from Brampton, Ontario. It's nice to read the bios and meet everyone who is so committed to décor and design. I studied Interior Decorating at Sheridan College about 30 years ago - yikes, I think I was 10 - a real prodigy :-) Kidding aside, it's a wonderful time to be in this field with all of the new technology, resources and product available to us. Like Keitha I started when my children were small. I remember having to design and water colour render a 2500 square foot house for our final project and now it's almost all done on the computer. A "Diva" I'm not. For me my job is about helping my clients create spaces that reflect them, who they are, where they have been and how they live. Helping them to define what they want and show them how to achieve it. The process is a collaboration and usually involves a team of contractors, trades and suppliers who all value the same commitment to providing exceptional, professional and timely service, whether it be a small or large budget. I guess it stands to reason that since my second passion is cooking my favourite spaces to design are kitchens. Creating a kitchen that not only looks good, but works and is a pleasure to be in is a great sense of accomplishment. I don't profess to know everything there is about design but I do know where to find the answers and am definitely a pit bull when it comes to a challenge. Not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse, but my mind doesn't stop exploring the possibilities until we find the best possible solution. It's definitely a profession where you are always learning, revaluating, exploring new possibilities and ideas and growing. I feel privileged to have worked with so many wonderful people over the years, as clients and associates and have made many lifelong friends through the process. My clients range from Baby Boomers who are downsizing and starting on a new path in their lives to young urban professionals who are just starting their lives and families. I look forward to learning and seeing all of the new projects here on Houzz and wish you all well. I'd also like to thank OnePlan for starting the post. It's a pleasure to meet so many like minded people....See MoreHelp with exterior of 60's house!
Comments (36)Would love to see any photos of the New England style cladding, we have a 1960's house that we are updating and are considering both render and cladding. We are making the top windows deeper and are trying to decide whether to use white or grey aluminium/pvc frames. We have had grey (covered in tape in pic) bifold doors installed but can have these powder coated in white if it is better to stick to white windows. Thank you!...See MoreExterior makeover - render and window frame colour advice
Comments (36)That colour was f&b stony ground which is actually red based but I think must have some green in, I thought it would work with the terracotta tiles. Something like the lighter shaded white may also work although colours are normally a couple of shades lighter on the exterior. The previous owners of our house painted it farrows cream, I swear it gets more yellow each day! I don’t know anything about the render tbh but I don’t think it needs any maintenance for 20-30 years hence the initial application cost is dearer. I’ve attached this link as I’ve come across a few similar comments (but as I say I don’t know anything about the render and you’re always going to get negative reviews of things). It might be worth creating a separate post on traditional versus through coloured render if you have any concerns? http://www.ebuild.co.uk/topic/15160-traditional-render-v-k-rend/...See MoreFeedback on kitchen design
Comments (20)The oven positon looks quite precarious to me, it looks as if you'd need to stand at an angle to remove things? I also agree re drawers, you can also get ones with a simple divider for pan lids which I know I'd find useful. I personally prefer just one "unit" below/above the hob or it looks split in two. The wall units also look a little low over the hob but I think that might just be an illusion with the Upstand! I'm also not too sure re the tiles, have you tried it continuing the worktop as a splashback (is it marble?). I love the green and white combo btw but it can look a little cold but I think a pile of wooden chopping boards on that back wall would solve that. I'd also continue the brass/gold for the tap. Totally personal but I would prefer a separate fridge and freezer (although actually I'd go 1.5 fridge!) rather than the double larder But obviously look at what you store. It looks as if it will be a stunning room...See More

5 years agoSorry, had to do it quickly, so ignore the different window frame colours, but does this help?
A window like that is nice and looks modern, but it's a nightmare if you want to dress it with blinds or curtains. Not impossible, just not easy.
I could try a couple of different versions over the weekend, if you like.
