Look!: The Door at Mark Horton Architecture

7-23-08doormain.jpgWe were browsing Topher Delaney's blog, SEAM, when we came across this amazing door inside the Mark Horton Architecture studio located in South Park in San Francisco. What a great way to let natural light in without sacrificing privacy!

The door is made from polygal with a metal frame and a hinge in the center of the door and doorway to allow it to pivot in a full circle within the door frame. All the materials were found locally!

My office has doors like this...I fell through them flat onto the floor my first day...infront of the CEO.

Good times. Good times.

Friends of mine -- both designer/fabricators (as in, you can pay them money to do this for you) -- put doors like this on their house.

Those are just like the trick doors behind bookcases like you see in the movies. The protagonist would usually lean up on it and fall through as it pivots.
