Fuse Architects and Builders specialize in progressive modern architecture, linking their clients' needs, their relationship to design, the neighborhood, and the natural environment. The winning pivot door of 2021 tells a story through the door’s environment, design, and craftsmanship. The combination of creativity, use of materials, and refinement make this pivot door a work of art that makes your heart skip a beat. The door is a true masterpiece, whereas the details are no less important nor impressive than its size. White Oak Art The two different colors and shapes of stained white oak on the custom entrance by Architectural Millwork and Design depict the bay in which the residence is located: dark gray for the land and light gray for the ocean. The land on the map was textured by hand with a wire brush and other tools. The ocean side of the map is stained white oak, sanded smooth. This map of Monterey Bay, California, also shows the exact location of the door itself. A gold-inlaid marking at the bottom of the door – a connection between design and the natural environment that tells its story on its own. Interior of the door The interior of the door is an aluminum frame with an aircraft wing honeycomb in the core. The door is massive in dimensions and it has a weight of 300 Kg, for this reason, FritsJurgens’ pivot hinge system was chosen. Also, Fuse Architects and Builders wanted no hardware to be seen on the floor and it became possible with FritsJurgens’ system because all the FritJurgens’ systems are embedded in the door.
