Occasionally I am called by a unique company called Archetique that scours the country for unique architectural features like doors, windows, fireplaces, mantels etc., and incorporate these into new house builds or renovations. I have been surprised at the volume of business there is. Many people desire a piece of the old world in their homes. Well let's face it, many of styles of fifty or more years ago are not being repeated.
When I am called it is to do drawings that show how a wine cellar can be designed or a gothic door can be placed into a wine cellar door opening, or an old Quebec country door can be placed into a main outside door opening with new glass panels or pillars. This is an enjoyable side light for me.
