My front door has this configuration:
I'd like to swap the door with the side panel to obtain this configuration (without flipping anything):
Would that be feasible?
By feasible, I mean simple enough to be overall cheaper than replacing everything 🙂
The images above refer to configuration.
The actual doorset I have installed is similar (except the panel and door are swapped) to the following one:
The door swings inside, is fairly recent and I believe it is PVC. The door and side panel look like two independent modules, with the junction covered by a wooden slab held in place by some visible sealant. That's why I was wondering whether it's possible.
More precisely, here are two pictures of the junction in the middle. This is the bottom part, where the door set meets the floor, taken from the inside. These images depict the actual door in question.
Thanks!

If the two units are indeed modular as you've described, then you can probably make this work. Some caveats:
Now if you have the means to re-work the stucco, you can cut it back a few inches and work the project as if it was new construction. That would be ideal, but obviously much more expensive.
Original answer:
Not really. It was constructed as a unit, and reversing it would require all the hardware mounting locations to be reversed as well as the frame members. It would be a massive operation and you'd probably lose both structural integrity and weather sealing in the process.
