Secondly, the half stone bases infront of the door look cheap with the iron. I think we wanted to stick with dorick style collums like the present bulding; which would probably make the brick look nicer anyway.
Thirdly, the door is just two, white doors, not windows, not even wood or a nice metal frame door. And it looks as though when you walk in, you're stuck. Might as well put a chain through the door handles. The windows in front, if you can see them are quite small and they are swallowed up by the brick. I hope this is a good example of what we should not do. On to something more positive, shall we?!
I like this building for a few reasons. I think this is a wonderful representation of our west elevation. I like the cross, the color of the brick, the bushes in front, the steeple set back...by the way, that doesn't look bad. I don't think it will be a problem to keep the steeple set back. I also like where the cross sits, the wall comes out a little-about a foot-from the rest, to break that plain. And I can picture a few different siding options for the rest of the building to the left. I think wainscot would look nice here with a cream colored shade siding. The bushes in front make the building look soft and inviting.Here's an example of double doors with just one long window on top. I don't like it.
Windows around the doors...it looks too much like a school.

I LOVE these doors in this entrance under a drive-through like ours will be. I didn't think i would like it without the windows around the outside, but the windows inside the doors really make up for it. The wall color changes above the door and the walls on the sides stand out about 2-3 inches. I like the lights on the sides also.
That's it for now.
