LES PORTES
The door to a home, an edifice or a courtyard makes a strong first impression on the visitor who is about to cross its threshold and that impression will last for a long time. It says a lot about the place it protects and hides when it is closed and the mood that transpires when it is open. What interests me today in the variety of doors that front buildings around the world, is not only the message they send but also the care, artistry and originality that are obvious in even the most modest of them.

Painted-on grandeur: the little door that could
the South of France
a very authentic,very weathered door for a very private garden
Tunisia
the roundness of the structure echoed in the door
Greece
super clean geometry
DYI on acid
graphically modern
a safe haven in a dark deserted night?
modern lines and curves of the talented architect
grids say enter at your own risk

the sleek glamour of a 30's brass building entrance door
