Entryways

The first impression offered by your home (which is a direct reflection of the owners taste) is made by the landscape and the entry. A lot is to be taken into consideration when designing an entry. The architecture and style of the home offer the first guidelines of concept. This is not to say that it has to conform to some set of parameters but exactly the opposite. Once the style is established, a truly unique entry cannot be another copy from a book as most offer. It must complement and accommodate to be a success. We have involved family members in the design process whenever possible to reflect the family as a whole rather than just a "building". Landscape can really bring the strong points of your homes exterior to focus and the entry has the ability when combined with an entryway to make the strongest positive statement of any portion of you home. That is one reason we like to visit with the landscape architect to get a feel for his (or her) intent and direction. You know you have made the statement well when others give directions to their homes in relationship to "that house with the beautiful front door"

We can produce totally custom hardware and glass as desired. Our structural innovations allow size and multi-part complexity offered nowhere else that we are aware of. We can make an entry fold back flush into the sidewalls of a matching foyer to disappear during public functions. While carving is in our roots, we do not bind ourselves to traditional design. Metallic finishes, the latest powder coating techniques; laser and water jet technology are at our full disposal. Inlay and marquetry of mixed materials offer strong impact with limits only of the imagination. An entryway can indeed be large and voluminous, but by no means does size qualify one as grand. Many of our smaller carved doors are featured in publications regularly because of their visual impact, not their size. Incised carved lettering can make a distinct impression that cannot be done otherwise.

We can produce a single door, a suite of interior doors to complement or design a full collection of interior accents to carry a central theme throughout the residence. A full home interior is available including millwork, kitchen, theater and stair components. We offer full CAD renderings for approval of all our products. For our commercial clients we can faithfully reproduce corporate logos and signage without limitation. You imagine it, we bring it to life. No limits
