The Point Grey project represents the ultimate expression of minimalist architecture through extraordinary scale. This Vancouver residence features what may be one of the largest residential door systems ever attempted: a 20-foot tall by 28-foot wide corner system that spans nearly the entire 30-foot width of the home.
The engineering achievement lies in creating panels of unprecedented size while maintaining the clean, minimal aesthetic that defines contemporary luxury architecture. Each triple-glazed panel measures 7 feet wide by 20 feet tall and weighs an astounding 2,800 pounds, yet operates with surprising grace through dual motor automation systems that make the impossible seem effortless.
The corner configuration (featuring four panels across the front and two panels on the side) creates an entirely open living pavilion when fully opened. The recessed sill system embeds all mechanical components below floor level, leaving only the minimal track necessary for operation visible, ensuring nothing disrupts the seamless visual flow between interior and exterior spaces.
This project exemplifies how thoughtful engineering can achieve seemingly impossible scale while maintaining the refined aesthetic that discerning clients demand.



UNPRECEDENTED SCALE
ENGINEERING THE IMPOSSIBLE
Managing 2,800-pound glass panels required innovative dual motor automation systems to ensure smooth, reliable operation. The engineering challenge wasn't just moving these massive panels, but doing so while maintaining the minimal visual profile that makes this system architecturally stunning rather than mechanically obvious.
