Entrance Gate: A Door of Wrought Iron and Glass

A close-up of the entrance door of an Art Nouveau apartment building. The upper half of the approximately three-meter-high wooden door is glass, covered by a wrought-iron grille. The lines of the grille are plants growing upwards from the bottom of the door, blossoming into a fan-shaped leaf at the top. The stone surrounding the door frame is carved into soft curves, and the lintel is inscribed with the building's completion year and the architect's name. Avoid: wrought-iron grille with repetitive geometric patterns, modern glass automatic doors, straight stone door frames, modern electronic doorbell panels and mailboxes added to the door.

一棟新藝術公寓的入口大門特寫,高約三公尺的木門上半部是玻璃,玻璃前方覆蓋著一片鍛鐵格柵,格柵的線條是從門的底部往上生長的植物,在頂端開出一片扇形的葉子;門框周圍的石材雕成柔和的曲線,門楣上刻著建築完成的年份與建築師的名字。避免:鍛鐵格柵是重複的幾何花格、門是現代的玻璃自動門、門框是平直的石材、門上加裝現代的電子門鈴面板與信箱。
