Designer Yuki Murata teamed up with Rippel Metal to design this custom solid steel and glass front door for an Atalaya home by Woods Design Builders. The striking full-glass design allows natural light to flood the home’s foyer. “The entry hall has stone walls, so as you approach the home, sun highlights that detail creating a wow factor,” says Shane Woods, project manager at Woods Design Builders. In addition, the materials and style complement the courtyard gates and nearby garage doors. Woods adds that it’s a beautiful contrast of present-day style with indigenous materials—neither too traditional Santa Fe style nor too contemporary.
