What Houzz contributors are saying:
The pivoting door not only divides the sleeping and living spaces, but a drop-down flap also doubles as a desk or bar. The entire unit is made out of a combination of hardware from several different companies, including some designed by Normal Projects. Customizing this piece was not only necessary because of its size and functions, but also to ensure that the motion of the cabinet was just right. "That process involved a lot of precise digital modeling to keep track of the slides and the rotations of hinges and pivots," says Chen.
