Every good design project needs a dramatic entrance, it's the first and last impression. I went gaga for the antique door and surround leading to this homes courtyard, designed by Mark Boone of London Boone. You must check out more of this fantastic design in the November issue of Architectural Digest.
The other photos are my design for our family home in Bend Oregon. The antique door from India similar to the one Mark found is the focal point leading to a foot bridge and the homes entry. In both cases a simple stucco wall shows off the door spectacular!
One of my favorite parts of your home!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. Wow!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy that a lot of people focus on the interior but leave out the portion that primes the visitors to see the interior design. The entrance created by Mark Boone is stylish and dramatic as they get. Lots of flair and great use of rich colors and tone make for an elegant views from the outside.
