Oversized Door: A 4-Meter High Solid Wood Panel

Oversized door panel: a single piece of solid wood, four meters high. A single-leaf door, 4 meters high and 1.6 meters wide, with a thickness of 100mm, made of a single piece of solid wood or a leather-wrapped frame, weighing hundreds of kilograms. Because it is too heavy, it opens silently and slowly with hidden floor bearings and hydraulic buffers. The gap between the door panel and the door opening is uniformly 3mm, with no door frame around it, flush with the wall. The handle is a solid brass or bronze rod, 1.2 meters long, penetrating the thickness of the door, its surface polished by hand. The image shows the door opened one-third of the way, with light pouring out from the gap. Avoid: the door being of normal height, adding exposed door frames and architraves, using ordinary hinges, making the handle small.

一道高 4 公尺、寬 1.6 公尺的單開門,厚度達 100mm,由整片實木或包覆皮革的框架構成,重量以百公斤計。因為太重,靠地面的隱藏軸承與液壓緩衝開啟,推開時無聲且緩慢。門片與門洞之間的縫隙均勻到 3mm,四周沒有門框,直接與牆面齊平。把手是一根貫穿門厚的實心黃銅或青銅棒,長 1.2 公尺,表面已被手磨出光澤。畫面呈現門開到三分之一、光從縫隙湧出的狀態。避免:門做成一般高度、加入外露的門框與線板、使用一般的鉸鍊、把手做小。
