Which looks better - Hip to gable brick wall or brick and dormer mix

[platforminc]

Hi All.

I am struggling to choose a design, between a gable wall that is all block and will be rendered with the rest of the house to give a clean wall or a design whereby there is a mixture of block gabl wall and a dormer which extends to the rear dormer. In both cases, the dormer will be hanging tiles at the rear.

Thanks in advance.

Clean gable wall rendered with the rest of the wall, but i dont intend to have any pipes on the gable wall.

Gable wall mixed with a dormer design, I intend to use grey hanging tiles if i go with this design.

Similar style here also, my wall will be a very light colour and the hanging tiles will not be red but black, if going with this option.

The middle one.

Agree, with the dormer you’ve still got a gable end which looks more natural/matches more with your neighbours. IMHO. Might be easier to get planning for too for that reason.

The thing is to cut down on the work and to get the maximum internal space.

So construct like the first one for ease and space, and then design like the second to give the appearance of a dormer.

None of them.
