My Brand-new House

[CanteringCodfish]

Hello!
being new to building good(ish) looking things, I decided to make a thread about my new house that I'm building in a creative world, which I hope to replicate in Massivecraft when it's done. I'm looking for any feedback at all, and constructive criticism. Here's some screenshots of how it's looking s far (It's not finished):



Edit:
I replaced the spruce planks with brick, and decided I wanted a mansion instead of a house. So, I've added some walls on the side, and am starting a second floor.



Another Edit:
I put some walls in back, and made a roof for the front thing. It probably has a cool architectural name, but I don't know .

Could stand to be a bit less symmetrical, as most natural buildings are not.

Also a bit more material variation could look nice

Defiantly use more material for more 'pzazz.'. It's kinda bland the way it is...

i'd say it looks good so far, of course improvement is alway's possible, but i would never be able to build a thing like that

I disagree with the idea of variation needing to be used. It really depends on what you're going for here. At the moment it seems like a very strict and stern environment. Perhaps a man who has lived long and been through wars lives here?

The Greyjoy's come to mind. Specifically Balon.

Spoiler

Keep at what you're currently doing, as it looks great.
(Also I mean no offense in saying it looks like an old man lives there. I mean, come on - The old man is Balon Greyjoy. That's a compliment. xD)

Natural buildings?

As in most buildings in the real world built in the past

I've added even more on now, but it's a little damaged cause I experimented with tnt. At least it's not so symmetrical now. @Party_Penguin27
