Silva Studios Architecture I'm sorry, I can't help you with the furnishings. I did the architecture - the design of the building, inside and out.

Silva Studios Architecture Thank you Raju. Sorry for the late reply. The door is custom, designed by myself and built on site by a carpenter to my specifications.

The Canopy is a pre-fabricated item ordered from Kalwall.

The canopy continues inside to provide that wonderfully luminous glow in this foyer.More photos of Kalwall in homes
added by Culpepper Carpets & Interiors, Inc. to Stretch Your Design Possibilities With Polyester
Of course, polyester isn't just used for textiles. This translucent ceiling is made of a smart glass substitution: Kalwall, a very durable product made with polyester as one of the base components. Developed in the 1950s, this material didn't gain traction until the '70s, when it was finally recognized for its superior energy efficiency. Read more about Kalwall

Even though Kalwall can be a more costly roofing alternative, its superior thermal performance, structural integrity and ability to be curved can make it the ideal material for your project. Here, Kalwall was bent to form a vaulted entry canopy, which extends beyond the wall of the house.

Beautiful door and sidelights - visual privacy, but very warm and let's in lots of light. The ceiling is a polyester-based material called Kalwall. Not sure about the sidelights. I like how the door pivots, but that may not be a very practical design.
