1
The front entrance is supposed to be a grand entrance. It has double-leaf doors. Each of the leaves, by itself, is narrow for passage. Such doors should always be open. For a symmetrical classical facade is fine, but to dare to install such a need a butler or a love of art - it is not convenient to use. The three-part model is ubiquitous: a wide sash in the center and two narrow blank strips on the sides.

The windows can be undecorated. Here the decor is omitted to create a contrast to the ornate entrance.
3
The seams between the short elements are clearly visible on the interstory cornice. The short pieces are a sign of expensive "quality" decor. Imitation of a historical moment. This is how the stonecutters hewn the stones to make a set facade.
4
The whole house is finished with stucco and the entrance with stone of the same tone. This is a perfect illustration of the principle we recommend and apply. Expensive accents should be where they are seen and where they come into contact with a person.
5
A good balustrade should have a solid base, as here. This part is very often omitted or unimpressive. And if you don't have a good base, you have to make disproportionate thin long balusters.
