mslewis620 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Would like some advice - working on a traditional two story colonial style spec home. The builder wants a paneled entry with pediment roof (no dentil) supported by two columns and recessed front door. Considering an round/arch top entry door with a corresponding arch in the face of the pediment. Market here is moving away from the sleek modern boxes to cozy traditional elevations but with a little less gingerbread. What's best way to accomplish this?

mslewis620 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS BUT THE DOOR WOULD BE RECESSED AND THE AREA AROUND THE DOOR WOULD BE WOOD PANELING INSTEAD OF BRICK OR SIDING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslewis620 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Assuming I will need to use polyline solids to create the paneling. Just didn't know if there was a simpler solution. Not your typical exterior finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslewis620 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Good start - I will try that out and see how it looks. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMaddox Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Eric, I loved the use of cabinets for the panel - never thought of it. Thanks for the tip. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mslewis620 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Looks great - so you just used cabinet panels, columns and added them to your elevation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
