Heritage & Traditional Wooden Doors

Heritage • Traditional Architecture

Traditional wooden doors developed from the building’s own language.

Custom doors for heritage-sensitive projects, cultural buildings and traditional architecture, with careful attention to existing proportions, carved details, regional motifs and material character.

Heritage Approach

Start with what already exists.

For restoration-sensitive work, photographs, measured drawings and surviving details should guide the new door rather than applying a generic historic style.

Existing Proportions

Opening geometry, frame depth and panel rhythm are documented first.

Motif Language

Carving, geometry and ornament are redrawn to fit the real dimensions.

Material Character

Timber, colour and finish direction are selected to suit the architectural context.
