/ Entrance as discipline

One Threshold. One Firm. No Exceptions.

CBEX was built around a single conviction — that the residential entrance deserves the same architectural rigor as any room within the home.

— Why we exist

The Threshold Most Architects Leave Behind

Most residential design ends at the front door. The entrance is handed off — to a contractor, to convention, to whatever the builder had on hand. We exist because that handoff is where architecture fails.

Cedar columns, iron railings, and stair geometry are not finishes. They are structural decisions that carry proportion, weight, and the long arc of how materials age. We design them that way.

Exclusively at the Residential Threshold

We do not build whole homes. We do not touch interiors. That restraint is not a limitation — it is the reason our proportion and material judgment are sharper than any generalist's.

Atlanta is where CBEX practices. The Southeast and beyond is where commissions take us. The discipline travels — the entrance-first thinking never changes.

The Work Speaks for Itself

Every commission begins with a single entrance and the question of what it should say. See how CBEX has answered that question across Atlanta and beyond.
