River Oaks Doors
One of our high-end projects has just been completed at Houston’s premier residential high rise, The Huntington, and the results are striking.
It was a complicated build, but the results were well worth it.
The 21 st floor condo, located in River Oaks, already had two immense walls of 9-foot tall windows looking out over the Houston skyline. So when the designer (who is also the homeowner) wanted to put a wall of decorative doors in front of windows, we were a little perplexed.
Putting doors in front of windows sounded counter intuitive, but the designer’s vision turned out spectacular.
A Picture-Perfect Transformation
The once-familiar condo now boasts a striking architectural feature. Large poplar doors, accented with Argent metal bars and matching transoms, frame the panoramic windows. These doors, with their precise 1/8-inch reveals, create a dramatic focal point.
To complete the transformation, custom sliding doors were crafted from Louisiana Cypress, featuring Seavue and Bamboo glass patterns. The centerpiece, a stop-sign shaped glass panel, was meticulously assembled with six separate panes, demanding precision and expertise.
After two months of careful craftsmanship, the homeowner was delighted with the results. This project showcases the power of thoughtful design and meticulous execution.
