The architectural term "surround" generally refers to a larger area around a doorway or window which provides a larger framing. One elaborate kind of door surround is theGibbs surround, which is a type of banded "rusticated" architectural frame surrounding a door, window or niche in the tradition of classical architecture.

The term surround may be used to refer to just an ornamental border which encircles the sides and top of a door frame,^[1] or it may refer to the entire structure around a doorway.^[2]

APalladian window is a particular kind of window surround structure including an arched central window and two shorter side windows. It is sometimes included inRenaissance Revival architecture,Classical Revival architecture, andFederal architecture, and is named forAndrea Palladio. In architectural contexts, the term 'surround' may encompass the entire structure around a doorway, including ornamental borders encircling the sides and top of thedoor frame. Notable examples include the Gibbs surround, characterized by banded rustication, and the Palladian window surround, featuring an arched central window flanked by shorter side windows. Understanding the terminology and historical significance of door surrounds enriches appreciation of architectural design and craftsmanship.
