In place of the usual swinging, double doors that separate the foyer from the living room, this customer wanted a door that was less heavy and still isolated the two rooms, both in terms of visibility and air-conditioning. It is three panels that are guided by a floor track.

These varnished, wood-frame windows never fail to catch the eye of a passer-by, which is not necessarily a good thing, (especially if they are driving a car).
