My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Double front entrance!

8 years ago
Modern front entry with neighboring sliding glass door, because sometimes one entrance just isn't enough!

    Will you be adding an outdoor space for coffee/cocktails to the right? In that case, what a unique idea! A formal entrance, and an entrance that could be more private with the right landscaping and furniture. We'd love to see more pictures once the job progresses.

      It does look better.... but why two entrances? Yikes, that would bother me.

      The homeowner is still fiddling around with a couple of ideas, but that is a great suggestion! Will definitely share pics once the project is complete! Thanks!!!

      And the sliding door is for a to be built courtyard!

      I like that idea much more!

      This only makes sense if there is a closed courtyard that is separated from the entry....otherwise it feels like a mistake

      Unless there is something inside to justify the slider placement ....that looks very odd as well...These are the kinds of unexplainable oddities that make future resale difficult ....

      Just weird.

      Promise to share pics when project is complete and hopefully it will make a lot more sense then!

      Won’t the courtyard obscure the main entry...?

      Prof. Blasey Ford wanted two front doors....Looks fine to me but people can't accept something different at times.

      The main entry is quite bizarre: the needless height serves no purpose. Put a simple flat roof directly under the square window. It will offer more protection.
