Compromise?

What I've realized over the past couple years, relative to housing design, is that people will never abandon the traditional American home. While the form has certainly changed over the last 50 years, there's still a sense that most home buyers find comfort in a gabled roof, windows with panes (albeit fake), and a front porch. Rather than trying to design around these desires, we should try to meld both the new and old together, be it through the careful study and application of multiple styles to create something that can be innovative, while still considered inviting. Over the past week, in between midterms, I tried to develop a home that could exhibit what I am speaking of. Working on the design, I tried to incorporate different design styles, including Traditional Japanese, Prarie, Bauhaus, and New Modern (e.g. Marmol Radziner).While the sections not shown are incomplete, I was looking for some feedback on the design.
