The door is a door within a door. Glazing to be possibly partially frosted for privacy. Another option for privacy may include landscaping with dense, tall (or maybe only up to 6-10 ft) at driveway edges to obscure views from the street and allow visual and physical access to the front garden. |
Demolition of glass, windows, doors, cmu, brick, and doors shown in green. |
Door within a door. |
Wind strut/lateral support must go back to existing masonry wind force resisting system. Gravity load of steel tube header will be suspended from reinforced joists above. |
