   pick a window mfr.

   ( my favorite is Andersen , Marvin can do it also.. so can a lot of others)...

   have them design and furnish your paladian window/ door.. combination

   depending on the door.. i'm thinking $5K.. but you can certainly spend more

   then install it..

   or.. hire a good builder and let him take care of the whole thing

   Welcome to BT, first off.

   I'd agree that Marvin, Pella, or Andersen (don't forget that "e") will likely be your best bet.

   Just to be sure, by Palladian, you mean a 1-2-1 window width ratio,  with the center unit arched, correct?

   Since you want a center door, are you looking for a full-height window along side? 

   If so, that sounds a bit like you need a center door that is glazed and two matching side lights half the center width.  Which means you may want a "door" versus a "window" catalog.  Plus an arched unit.

   Thanks for the suggestions. I do mean at 1-2-1 ratio. I guess it really is a door with sidelights.

   that's the way i envisoned it...

    a door with two sidelights and a circle top window over..

    if it was Andersen..

    i'd use a Frenchwood patio door &  fixed panel flankers with a Circle top...

    and the muntins in the appropriate patternMike Smith   Rhode Island : Design / Build / Repair / Restore

   I'm going to look into this.  If I can assemble it with off the shelf items rather than a custom built set, it should be a lot less expensive.
