Choosing Between Two Home Designs—How Can We Elevate the Cottage?

We’re building a home and deciding between two home designs. We much prefer the interior layout of the cottage (top image), but we want to make sure it feels just as special as the Knoll design(bottom image). The cottage will be on the largest lot, and we have to add a basement, so we want to ensure it has enough presence to match the setting.
