Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects Thanks for the kind words. The brick is actually new brick, known as "mexican handmade" brick. Sourced thru a local supplier in Austin. The mortar is intentionally rough to give it an older appearance.
Add character with age. "This door is a great example of client collaboration," says Hugh Randolph of Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects. "The homeowner was also the builder, and his wife is a designer with a great sense of style. She found the door at a salvaged door store in Gonzales, Texas, about an hour away from Austin."He adds, "The Gothic arched door became the inspiration for the interior arches from the entry hall to the adjoining rooms. And the fact that it's an old door adds greatly to the character of the house."
This room is modern and spacious, but the gothic arches and the antique wooden door give it a little goth darkness. When you can't put your finger on why a room feels a little eerie, look for pointed gothic arches. Works every time.
