Doors
Why rotating doors have become the signature of contemporary entrances.
A pivot door turns on an axis set inside the leaf, rather than hanging from hinges at its edge. That simple change allows doors to grow in width, height and weight.
For architects, the appeal is proportion: a single tall plane that moves as a piece of the wall. For clients, it is the experience of opening something substantial with very little effort.
The hardware carries the weight of that experience. Pivot, closer, handle and lock must be specified together, as one system.
