Tall door
We really had fun with this 20' tall pivot door for a private residence. We used tube steel construction with steel sheet cladding. For finish we blackened the hot roll steel and did a light lacquer top coat. The client is hopeful that over time he'll get some light flash rust to match the door with the corten colored tiles which clad the exterior of the home. … [Read more...]
