Wood

This Manhattan townhouse entry door was one of our favorite projects to work on. As traditional, solid wood doors become less common, we wanted to create a door which looked both as elegant and as sturdy as the classic entry doors seen around parts of New York City. Wooden entry doors are timeless and there’s a good reason why they’ve been popular for centuries. Now, however, advances in technology mean they can be as efficient as other metals and composite materials. The owner opted for wood type. To finish, we helped the owner settle on some ornate, decorative accents as well as understated but distinguished brass features.
