This new modern residential home located in Decatur, Georgia features a minimalist architectural design well-suited for the region's climate. Decatur experiences hot, humid summers and mild winters, making an open floor plan and ample natural light important aspects of the design.
The house utilizes slimline windows and accordion glass doors to bring the outdoors in and take advantage of views over the landscaped yard. Materials like concrete, aluminum, and cedar were chosen for their durability in heat and rain. Broad overhangs provide sun and rain protection while maintaining the clean lines of the structure.
A focal point of the project is the custom-made aluminum pivot door that serves as the grand entrance. Pivot doors are gaining popularity for high-end residential properties as they allow for a much larger opening than a traditional swinging door.
The door's modern thermal break aluminum frame was designed and fabricated by Doorwin to integrate with the minimalist aesthetic seamlessly. Measuring 8 feet tall, the pivot door completely opens the entryway and blurs the line between inside and outside space. Handles were custom-designed to coordinate with the minimal exterior's clean lines—here, a long steel pull in a matte black finish to match surrounding steel accents without detracting from the door's visual lightness. Horizontal rectangular panes of decorative glass woven strategically into the top third bring added privacy and brightness.
Homeowners increasingly seek bespoke pivot doors for their bold statement-making potential and ease of operation. As more community residents pursue contemporary design elements, pivot doors have grown in popularity for bringing the virtues of expansive indoor-outdoor living to the Decatur area.
Here are some key details about the configurations of the custom pivot door:
The door features a German-imported Dormakaba pivot system, known for its smooth operation and reliability. The commercial-grade system can smoothly operate sashes weighing up to 1200 lbs, ensuring easy use of this large format door for years to come.
And they’re also come up with operate-friendly functionalities:
Custom-designed handle options were available to complement the aesthetics of the home. The homeowners chose a minimalist pull handle crafted from the same aged steel as the exterior.
Decorative glass sections were incorporated per the homeowners' specifications. Glass designs such as Vanceva offer anti-reflective coated surfaces for clear views while maintaining privacy.
What’s more, all the glass used on Doorwin pivot doors are all at least with a double-pane tempered glazing sets with Low-E coatings and argon gas filled.
A range of material choices allowed the door design to perfectly match the architecture. For this project, a thermal break aluminum frame was chosen for its durability and virtually maintenance-free profile. This was powder-coated in a matte black to blend seamlessly into the sleek modern exterior.
In addition to aluminum, we also provide solid wood materials from a range of wood species including oak, teak, pine, and mahogany. each with its own unique grain pattern and color.
