Front elevation symmetry (or intentional asymmetry)

Description

Front elevations work either fully symmetric (Colonial, Cape Cod) or intentionally asymmetric with a clear hierarchy (Craftsman, Farmhouse). Half-symmetric facades read as unresolved.

Why this exists

Either commit to symmetry or commit to asymmetric balance. Half-and-half looks like a failed design.
