Comment:  In regard to an in-style Tuscany door, particularly an exterior Tuscany door, custom home designers may be screwed in the name of modernity, short of careful planning at the front end of perimeter door design.  With the exterior Tuscany door, everybody seeks natural home light and views, while unable to fully cover the opening with sturdy Tuscany shutters – there may not be the room for ‘em on the exterior even in bifold configuration; there may not be a function for ‘em on the interiors given conflict with proximate, interior door travel; there may not be safely available space; and there may not be conveniently available space.
