concret casing of entrance Explanation: Are you talking about concret walls? It suddenly occured to me that Eingangskoffer (the suitcase of the entrance!!!) could be translated into the French coffrage de l'entrée = the concret casing of the entrance. You see, this is all guesswork, without context (the more the better) we won't be able to help you. Best Maya |

entry vestibule Explanation: ENTRY VESTIBULE. The Entry Vestibule will be the space between the main entry doors and the doors into the lobby of the Library. It will feature a relatively low ceiling (11'-4" above the finished floor) that will contrast with the lofty volume of the adjacent Entry Garden. The west wall of the Vestibule will be clad with aluminum panels painted a rich, blue-gray color, framing the opening to the Conference Center passage. The book return will also be located there. The floor of the Vestibule will be a combination of multi-colored terrazzo and walk-off mats.

vestibule enclosure / enclosed entry vestibule Explanation: Ref. 1 Because of their significant visual impact, entry vestibules and porch enclosures are not encouraged; however, if either is undertaken, it requires careful planning. Enclosures should have as much window space as possible, rather than solid walls. Vestibule roofs should be compatible-porchlike and usually low pitched. Avoid gable roofs and similar designs that make the vestibule too massive and visually competitive with the main building. Reference: http://germanvillage.org/GVguide/design/new/newentry.html |
