HLW International of Santa Monica, CA, was charged with turning a 1950s-era brick building into the new home of Red Bull Energy Drink. As part of that process, the firm ordered the demolition of a section of the building's original roof to create an interior courtyard, and then constructed within the courtyard a 40'-wide by 250'-long, non-functioning skateboard ramp, which has offices and conference spaces beneath.

With the ramp being the focal point of the 105,000 sq. ft. building, the architect looked for a way to create a seemingly seamless connection between the interior of the building and the courtyard space. That was accomplished with a designer glass bi-fold door.

Schweiss Bi-Fold Doors of Fairfax, MN, manufactured the door, which weighs approximately 10 tons. To operate the door, two electric motors and eight lift straps are used.

Schmidt Construction of Williams, CA, handled the delivery and installation of the door. Inner Space Constructors of Rancho Dominguez, CA, was the project's general contractor and was responsible for demolition and renovation.

Nine designer-style glass bi-fold doors from Schweiss Bi-Fold Doors of Fairfax, MN, are featured around the perimeter of the Harley-Davidson Cycle Project showroom in Maui, HI.

The doors range in size from 18' to 45' wide and when closed, function much the same as ordinary window walls. The advantage of having doors instead of windows is that any or all of them can be opened, which facilitates the movement of inventory in and out of the showroom, and allows natural ventilation to play a much bigger role in interior comfort.

Arita/Poulson General Contracting of Puunene, Maui, HI, installed the doors.

It's seems only fitting that the one-of-a-kind Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, MN, should have a "One-Piece"® hydraulic door just as unique. And in the case of the 285,000 Guthrie, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, the door is not really a door. It's instead a 17' x 16' operable window built into the side of the theater's Endless Bridge, an observation platform that cantilevers 178' outward from the theater's fourth floor lobby on the Mississippi River side to provide spectacular views of the historic river valley, St. Anthony Falls, the Stone Arch Bridge and the Mill Ruins Park.

The door was designed by W.J. Higgins & Associates of Wausau, WI, and fabricated by Schweiss Bi-Fold Doors of Fairfax, MN. It employs groundbreaking hydraulic technology to offer the theater's guests a breathtaking view of the adjacent Mississippi River.

Founded on the campus of Stanford University in 2002, the Carnegie Institution's Global Ecology Center was created to study the interaction between the earth's various ecosystems.

Given the department's nature-intensive mission, the presence of three bi-fold doors at the Center's perimeter seems appropriate. In the closed position, these 9'-tall glass doors-two of which are 14' wide while the other is slightly larger-bring natural light into nearby interior workspaces. And when opened, they literally connect the indoors and out, thus bringing researchers a little closer to work they've dedicated themselves to.

The doors were manufactured by Schweiss Bi-Fold Doors of Fairfax, MN, and installed by Rudolph & Sletten Contractors of Foster City, CA.

Rust Mesh Door

San Rafael, CA Private Garage

This private-owned garage was completed Jan. 2006 in San Rafael, California. Nature is the true beauty of this designer bifold door as the unfinished steel surfaces of the mesh-covered door and building surfaces display organic variations of reds and browns due to the desired rust finish. This 31'-wide by 8'7"-tall door was designed to be a piece of man-made machinery designed to work with the elements of nature as the steel mesh door surface allows natural light and ventilation to pass naturally through. The unique twist of the mesh design allows a viewer from inside the garage to view outside, but not vice versa.

Schweiss Bi-Fold Doors of Fairfax, MN manufactured the door, was purchased by Sonoma Overhead Doors of Sonoma, CA., and installed by Schmidt Construction of Williams, CA.

Custom Garage Doors

Basement Doorway

Gene and Carol Buboltz are the owners of this residential 4'x6-1/2" x 6'7" custom "One-Piece"® designer hydraulic door which is located on the back side of their lake home. This custom, classy wall door is unnoticeable when closed while the outside door trim matches a seamless finish to the house's exterior. This makes a nice hidden entrance to their basement for whatever possibilities they wish to use it for. When garage space is limited; such an opening to a basement makes it possible for storing lawnmowers, ATV's, jet-skis, and plenty of other common equipment. One of the greatest qualities of the door is the remote controlled handi-cap accessibility.
