Door: thick timber and ironwork

A main entrance. The doorway is a stone four-centered depressed arch. The door leaf is made of vertical thick oak planks, secured on the back with horizontal wooden battens, and covered on the surface with wrought iron door studs, long strap hinges, and a heavy door knocker. The stone frame of the doorway has simple moldings. Avoid: making the door a Western classical door with panel divisions, using a smooth modern wooden door, removing the ironwork and door studs, making the doorway a semicircular arch or square.

一道主入口。門洞是石造的四心扁拱,門扇由垂直的厚橡木板拼成,背面以橫向木條固定,表面佈滿鍛鐵的門釘、長條的鉸鏈飾件與一個沉重的門環。門框的石材有簡單的線腳。避免:把門做成有線板分割的西洋古典門、使用光滑的現代木門、拿掉鐵件與門釘、把門洞做成半圓拱或方形。
