Statement entrance

The entrance door needed to feel as though you were opening up an entire wall, which immediately takes you into the heart of the home.

Architect Gavin Maddock shares “The client required direct view to the ocean upon entry. Considering the size, weight and quality of the door, FritsJurgens was our immediate choice.”

Forming the specification
Door specification

The full height of the door is 5.7m, and spans 1.6m.

As pivot doors allow you to design to almost limitless heights and irregular proportions, it seemed the obvious choice to choose this type of entrance.

Cladding and hardware

The door is fabricated with an internal welded frame and is clad with aluminum composite panels, inside and out. Both internal and external handles are recessed into the thickness of the door.

Pivot mechanism

The pivot door mechanism best suited to this specification was the System M+, the most versatile of the three mechanisms we offer.
