Door Systems in Vancouver House | Alumil

Alumil has been designing high-quality aluminum products such as home windows and patio doors for over 30 years. The Supreme S700 and Supreme S77 systems from Alumil were chosen for the apartments of the Vancouver House project, located in Vancouver, Canada.

The Vancouver House was born adopting the "Gesamtkunstwerk" philosophy, a holistic approach to architectural design. In the center of this bustling Canadian city, the area is trapped within narrow limits, trying to escape upwards. Like a notional turbine, it arises up from its triangular base, making a "dance" movement, striving to reach the highest levels where it becomes squared and imposing.

Seemingly asymmetrical openings per floor, eventually formulate a single face that resembles a built wall. Covered by glass surfaces, they ensure the high energy efficiency demands (LEED-platinum award), while at the same time contributing greatly to the expression of the original architectural concept of linking Granville Street Bridge to the city center as a kind of "control tower". Fine, white lines of minimal character compose the interior, allowing natural light to underline the interior aesthetics and at the same time, serve as a natural link between internal and external space.

These 2 Alumil systems guaranteed the performance needed to comply with the project needs, by combining also the most minimal and architectural compelling aesthetics.
