Project details

Warm Welcome

A warm welcome shaped in weathered ash. This impressive entrance door combines refined craftsmanship with architectural unity. Designed and built with precision, the pivot door forms a seamless continuation of the façade, its vertical slats in greyed ash wood flowing effortlessly into the exterior cladding.

With a width of 1.78 meters and a height of 2.40 meters, the door feels both generous and grounded. The FritsJurgens System M+ ensures controlled, fluid movement and perfect balance, allowing the solid wooden structure to pivot with surprising lightness. A vertical glass strip with highly insulating HR++ glazing introduces natural light, while a matte black handle adds subtle contrast. Inside, the same ash finish continues, creating a smooth visual and tactile transition between exterior and interior.

A door that welcomes with warmth, precision, and movement every single time it opens.
