This is the front entrance of a residence in Lafayette, Ca. that our clients wanted to upgrade with a French touch soon after they acquired the property. The original plan had an awkward indirect entry via a small covered porch. We added three new inward opening French doors with wrought iron railings above the new lower floor windows and the entry door. We added the slate mansard roof, copper gutters and trim, and ran crown moldings below the roof soffit. Horizontal trim bands were added to balance the design. The builder was Bill Hinkamp of Rockridge Builders of Oakland
