Copper was used externally on the house as classing and on eaves, so using the same material for the pivoting entrance door gives the architecture continuity. Besides, it also makes quite a statement. Copper is a beautiful material with interesting qualities. It’s a material that can change over time, depending on its coating and what you expose the material to. Due to its softness, copper can easily be applied to pivot doors by using it as cladding, for example, as was done here on two solid 40 mm panels. The size that the door had to be also determined the type of door it would be. Its weight and dimensions made a FritsJurgens pivot hinge the right choice of hardware. FritsJurgens’ System M can carry the weight of large, heavy doors while still ensuring a smooth and controlled door movement at all times. The home’s entrance allows you to create a connection or a purposeful contrast between the house’s exterior and interior. It is an essential part of the complete experience of a home and, in the case of Castlecrag House, interior and exterior share a sober but warm, inviting atmosphere. Victoria D’Alisa: “In this case, the entry is hidden from street view, purposefully located along the side of the house with a covered roof for planning reasons, but also giving a sense of journey before you arrive at the entrance.” The entrance opens up to a wide double-height entry gallery, flooding the hall with daylight. It allows people to minge and casually walk towards the living areas. With the garden on the right and a personal collection of art on the left, there is plenty to admire on the way.
