bepsf You mean a Vestibule?

They're worth having If you live in a cold climate and you use it as an airlock - keeping the inner door closed unless you're entering or exiting.

If you're going to leave the door open all the time as it is here - then the added expense is pointless.

Dytecture The vestibule should be at least 5 feet deep in order for the door to open and a person to walk behind it.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Margaret Everton to Through The Front Door
The front door and secondary door close off the entrance area and, through their similarity, create striking unity.
added by ds design studio to Fun With Retro Patterns: Interlocking Rings
This pattern takes on a whole new look when it is cut into a section, as shown in the leaded glass window design.
The classic old-house vestibule in a new house: a door between outside and inside, and a door between the vestibule and the front hall. The space of the vestibule is compressed and tight, making the space of the home all the more explosive and impressive.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to 18 Winners from the Architect's Toolbox
Vestibules. Originally conceived as an air lock to keep gusts of cold winter air from entering the home, the vestibule has taken on a character all its own. Not quite inside nor outside, a vestibule is meant to be a transitional space that keeps rain, mud and unwanted guests out of the house proper. These transitional spaces, though more common on older homes, can find their way into a more contemporary aesthetic, as can be seen here.
added by Susan Stieglitz to Vestibule
This vestibule opens up into an entryway with a high ceiling.
