Telescoping Garage Door
Private Residence - City of Toronto
Client: Derek Nicholson Construction
Architect: Gregory Beck Rubin, Poiesis Architecture
We were approached by Derek Nicholson Construction to create and install a structural steel frame with an integrated telescoping garage door for a residential project by Gregory Beck Rubin of Poiesis Architecture.
The steel frames support a series of vertical terracotta baguettes to create a beautiful architectural facade. A three-leaf telescoping door is seamlessly integrated into the facade to provide access to a two-car garage.
Sixpenny designed and fabricated the custom telescoping hardware and drive system. We incorporated an industry standard gate operator to provide all necessary safety features as well as remote access including vehicular radio transmitters.
