We happened by the future family restauraunt, The Moxie Spot, on Atlantic Avenue and noticed their newly installed front door. The three-in-one design is made for adults, children, and pets, all at once...
What a neat way for design to reflect use. The Moxie Spot, when it opens, will be a family establishment and this copper door at once communicates that a great deal of effort is put into making everyone feel at home there, from the tiniest to the tallest of guests.

i love brooklyn :)
Oh how I love this! There is not enough wit and whimsy in the world!
I love it, but isn't that third door a fairy door - not a pet door? I'll admit I'm dimensionally challenged, but that seems pretty skinny for most dogs!
DanielleM, the pet door is for whippets, dontcha know. :-)
Outside, on a table, there will be a small morsel with a sign that says "EAT ME." And as you enter, you will find you have stepped through the Looking Glass...
What, disabled pets not welcome?
I like it! It definitely makes me want to see what's behind the door!
That may be the coolest door anywhere.
Love this door -- and hope to love this place (near my house). It's been in the making for so long, I kept fearing that the couple opening were headed for the poor house. But last weekend I saw they had a private party in there! Yay!
Just so they aren't welcoming rats...though I guess that might be too small a door for many of them!
This door is SOOOO cool!
DCchristine - I live in DC too and I've certainly seen rates roaming around that could easily be mistaken for a medium sized cat because they're so big - Luckily I don't they're lacking the 'hand-eye-coordination' to open doors! And God help us if they ever figure that out :)
what about people with disabilities? this door doesn't seem to be welcoming to someone who uses a wheelchair at all.
i'd love to see a focus piece on the use of universal design which really does focus on full accessibility of hard and soft architecture from the design phase rather than the much less effective retro-fitting approach.
