It was obvious from the plans that the Hudson house was going to be something special. The Entrance therefore would have to be too. Originally Aluminium Joinery was specified but a change of heart brought the clients to my Workshop where after a quick flick through the photo album, they where convinced that timber was the only option.
Project Description:
– The front entrance doors are one of my own designs “The Woodsman”. Panels are routed then hand finished. All joints are mortise and tenoned.
– The radius of the arch matches the radius of the “porch”.
– Glazing bars – thick, chunky and beaded.Challenge of the job/design complexity:
– The challenge of this job was to compliment the architectural design of the house, so in doing this I had to come up with a design that the client was comfortable with.
– The size of the entrance. 8mm steel plates were laminated between each mullion to ensure stability.
– Transportation from the workshop to the site (on piece).Choice of timber:
FIJIAN KAURI for the frame – this was selected for its strength and straight grain
WESTERN RED CEDAR for the sashes, side lites and doors - selected for its tried and tested qualities.
