A doorway from a live/work project in Spain is another example of how Kundig makes kinetic parts of a house even more special by confounding expectations about how they work. A tall steel pivot door is inset with a pilot door, allowing for varying degrees of openness between the indoor and outdoor spaces. It also recalls the grand doors with smaller inset doors that can be found in church architecture.
This huge metal swing door - which opens in three different ways - is a work of art in itself. Not sure how homely it would seem in a home though. But love how bold it is.
