I recently worked on a fantasy house which would be build in a rich area and I came up with this concept in which I try to mix both the emotions of a traditional home with a bit of contemporary addons but most people to who I shared it with, say there is something missing and I am trying to figure out what..so if people could help me I would really love it! Thank you very much!

What's missing are the traditional elements. Instead of trying to mix both traditional and contemporary in one shot, try adding all the traditional elements through historical research and photos then add some contemporary elements and remove anything you don't need.

Google 'transitional homes'. They are often updated 60s and 70s tract homes. What drives the modernists insane is that the results are often modern versions of a style earlier than the tract homes themselves.

Besides the obvious boring/genericness of it. The first thing that sticks out is the big gap between the gables. That’s a pit for leaves and other garbage. I can only imagine there are many other such design holes throughout the space...
The weird setback with the institutional railing and awkward shadows only draws further attention to the odd roof line. Almost looks like it’s two attached houses rather than one contiguous thought.
Midaz
Aug 12, 18 11:37 am

For example, if I have a project of 3000 SF max, with the garage and the garage 2nd floor, then it goes quickly and your possibilities of design are kind of limited. How are you guys working it out? If you put your kitchen, living room, entry, dining area, you almost surely reach 700 SF on first floor, you don't have your basement or 2nd floor... do you have tips and tricks? I feel like either your plan is suffering or your exterior design...

Aug 13, 18 1:45 pm
To me, the biggest flaw in my mind is continuity and cohesive design. While you haven’t provided something like a floor plan or Axon/3D view, it looks like this was planned based on the spaces within it. You went through the project requirement checklist, made a box for each of those, slapped them together and called it a day. While I doubt this was what really happened, that’s what I feel is communicated to me through the design.
A way to remedy this is to take a step back, and really look at your building in all views. Try to get the shapes flowing in a way that makes sense. Apply a pattern/hierarchy to them. Symmetry can help but is also a very dangerous. Many students fall into relying on it (Kudos for not falling for it). I would also recommend doing some research into each architectural style you’re borrowing from. While it’s easy enough to slap modern looking windows onto a traditional façade, that usually doesn’t look right. If you really want a nice mix of the two, look up what really makes contemporary houses contemporary, the same goes for whatever you consider “Traditional”. Find ways that these styles mix and interact that create interesting moments within the design. Maybe pin down a few core concepts, and try to communicate those concepts through the design.
Most of all, keep it simple. Student projects can get bogged down in "cool ideas" because there’s no client or budget keeping you in line. If you’re really interested in design, you’ll be doing plenty of it later in your education, and in the professional world. You don’t have to cram all your cool ideas into this one fantasy house. Like I mentioned above, write down some core concepts, and pin it to your desk somewhere in plain sight. As you design, occasionally peek at this list, and check to see if your design still communicates those ideas. This can help keep your designs cohesive. Don't be afraid to start from scratch if you need to.
Just a couple ideas off the top of my head. The others here can most likely provide much better feedback as they have a lot more experience in the field. Don’t be afraid of the “savage comments”, those are usually better than getting a lukewarm response to your design.

Agree with Archicore. To me, it is like music. It needs to all flow together into a cohesive song instead of being sampled from a variety of songs (where you are now). So I usually start by establishing the rhythm and genre... the shapes need to flow together in a way that makes sense.

Actually the way I proceed was different from normally... I actually made an elevation which I thought would look great then I tried to make the interior spaces from that and then when I arrived on 2nd floor problems arrived with the plan... so today I went back on autocad instead of revit to forget about the 3D and wanting it to look something straight up, I feel it will be better to always start with Autocad, figure out the spaces/relationships and then transfer to revit.. otherwise it becomes so easy to go straight to the 3D and forget about the basics..

What is missing is the understanding of what is Contemporary, but you also admitted that it was an "add-on". It is difficult to express something when its not expressed enough.
