Home exterior modernization\renovation

Hello –

The parameters for this project are an exterior remodel of my house to give it more of a modern look. We will be repainting the house to the color in the attached document below, Sherwin Williams Gauntlet Gray. The windows do not have the grids any more, those are older pictures. So what is in scope is to change any trim, getting rid of\replacing shutters, replacing the columns on the front porch, getting rid of the stone on the front of porch, replacing the kick-out window area with just a flat window, getting rid of the door and windows on each side of the door, getting rid of all the landscaping, etc. We would like to keep the porch existing roof for cost savings giving it a fresh coat of black paint. So modernization of the front of house and side porch. I would like two renderings or ideas. One would be your own creation\imagination (feel free to get rid of the existing porch roof to complete the look of your design, although if you can keep, great) and one incorporating the "Idea House" pictures on the last 2 pages of the attached doc, using the white stone, wood and the column design as as in the pictures. I realize the overall structure design of my limits the "modern look" of a post-modern 50s house (which I love), but I do think a redo of the front would make a large impact visually. Thanks and looking forward to you creations. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sorry for the multiple pictures, but there is a big tree in the front yard preventing me from taking a single pic, so you will have to put them together in your design for "one" picture. Thanks!
