Full-Height Sliding Doors: The Other Side Where Walls Disappear

An entire wall of a living space. Four to six floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with wooden or thin metal frames, all pushed open and stacked against one side of the wall, creating an opening wider than five meters; the indoor wooden floor and the outdoor patio material continue at the same height, with only a narrow drainage gap in between. Avoid: making the opening a regular single door, having the sliding doors still block half the opening when stored, having steps and thresholds between indoor and outdoor, or using heavy aluminum frames and overly divided glass.

起居空間的一整面牆。四到六片落地的木框或細金屬框玻璃拉門,全部推開後疊在牆的一側,開口寬度超過五公尺;室內的木地板與戶外的露台材料在同一高度接續,中間只有一道細縫的排水溝。避免:把開口做成一般的單扇門、拉門收納後仍擋住半邊、室內外之間有台階與門檻、使用厚重的鋁框與分割過密的玻璃。
