Hello all, long time reader, first time poster.

My wife and I are remodeling a two story home in the Los Angeles area. We'd like to get some feedback on some preliminary elevation plans we received from our architect. We do have some contraints with a remodel design (such as we can't add any more living space on the second floor and the width is the widest we can go with.

I'm looking for architecture ideas to make this home more interesting to look at...such as alternating roof lines? That's already one suggestion provided.
