This is a moorish/Spanish Mediterranean-style entryway features a grand hand-carved arched double door as its centerpiece, framed by classic Mediterranean landscaping including olive trees and climbing jasmine.

Design Elements
  • Entrance Door: The centerpiece is a pair of handcrafted, arched solid moorish wood doors featuring deep geometric and tribal-inspired carvings These moorish doors are typical of Mediterranean and Moroccan Riad designs
  • Flooring: The path is paved with terracotta or stone-look pavers laid in a herringbone pattern These often have a matte finish and varied natural tones to mimic classic European villa aesthetics
  • Landscaping:
    • Trees: Mature Olea europaea (Olive trees) flank the entrance, providing a light, airy canopy
    • Climbing Plants: The walls are adorned with Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides), an evergreen climber often trained on trellises
    • Fountain: A tiered stone wall fountain adds a classic architectural element to the side courtyard.
  • Lighting: Traditional lantern-style wall sconces, sometimes featuring intricate decorative patterns, provide balanced illumination for the arched entryway
