Left of Center

Cottages are all about proportion and symmetry, it's what makes them pleasing to the eye. One could easily correct the fact that the front windows are entirely too small, but this newly built interpretation of a cottage has the front door and gable off center by about a foot and a half. Whatever the reason...it ruins the house completely.
