Custom Oak Entry Door for Historical House.

The Custom Oak entry door and flanking sash windows were designed and custom made for a 1905 House located in Traverse City, Michigan. The design of the door was based on the existing pair of doors at the front of the house. The doors are part of a new rear entry porch and mudroom designed by Ekocite Architecture of Royal Oak, MI for this important historic house. The door is 90″ H x 36″ W x 2.25″ thick.

The design of the beveled glass window is based on the existing front door. The door case is mortise and tenon construction and double panel construction below the lock rail. The exterior panel is rift cut Red Oak selected for its dimensional stability. The interior panels are cut and carefully grain matched across the door system from a wide plank of figured Red Oak. The architectural and construction details of the door and sash windows are based on existing millwork in this historical home. The antique mortise door lock that matches the existing front door lock I found in Los Angles Architectural salvage shop.

Painted Room Divider featuring Stain Glass Windows

Painted room divider featuring stain glass windows. The cabinet was designed to create a visual display case for the client and to let light thru to the stairwell behind it. The windows were selected from their collection of antique stain glass window’s that they had acquired over the years.

The neo-classical style cabinet features a cornice that rests on four columns that are headed by Capitals I designed based on 9c Temple Mayan Temple of Turtles in Yucatan Mexico. The columns are traced with delicate 3/16″ walnut molding. The Walnut bead moulding was also used to fix the stain glass window’s in place. The idea of using the walnut was to mimic the lead framing used in the construction of the antique windows. The cabinet is finished identically on the reverse side.
