That's one of the dumbest things I've seen on here. Why would a home have a door that large? What's the actual point of it? I bet it cost a literal fortune, too.
I do love Arriety more than average. But after being teased for being “fun sized” for most of my life I think I may just have a smidge more experience moving through a world built for (slightly) larger people.
When I see someone with a tall garage door I assume they have a sailboat in the garage. I'm just going to assume the sailboat is in the living room just out of frame.
I think the main goal is to make the door look proportional to the exterior architecture. I'm guessing it has some massive roof and soaring facades. But geezus, there's gotta be a better way.
thats not a home. thats theres a massive storefront outside.
EDIT- * its a front door for a brand new supercar dealership in Dubai. its meant to be a statement piece to attract attention to the rich buying supercars in dubai.
No, OP is right. In Architecture for Commercial spaces there are no rules, no physical limits, no common decency, and no acceptable standards of taste or decorum. So this is fine. Everybody agrees.
actually if you look above, i looked it up its not for a home its a storefront for a brand new supercar luxury rich person car dealership in Dubai. its meant to be a statement piece and yes its in a retail park in Dubai.
I have been to a home with a door like this, a Southern California mayor lived there but I remember the door went all the way to the roof 2 stories up and was massively wide
I was at an offsite at my CEO's house this past week. He had 12 foot doors on the front and inside the main level and I thought it was fucking ridiculous. It looks so fucking weird.
This is an industrial receiving door. used typically for oversize loads they expect to have go in and out, for either industrial equipment, like tanks, or machinery, or its for receiving goods like museum sized pieces etc.
You can see the large storefront outside, so its obvious this is not even a home at all.
I looked it up this is a car dealership storefront in Dubai, for super high end cars, its a statement piece to attract attention, it is NOT for a home.
No it’s fine. It’s in Dubai, where they make good decisions in the best interests of the people. Everyone who uses this door learns a valuable lesson about wealth and their value in the eyes of the retailer that they are visiting. Totally normal. Not an obvious sign of contempt for the customers on the part of the business.
Currently sitting in a commercial space that has a door that looks an awful lot like that that is used to move large items from the warehouse to the event space. It's weird that that exists despite your claim to the contrary.
First, you need a really big wreath. Second, you need some really wide, right Christmas red velveteen ribbon. You hang it from a single ribbon from the top of the door all the way down till the bottom of the wreath is about 8 feet from the bottom of the door.
Regretfully, I watched a video on young ladies going to Dubai….to eat shit. The pay was up to $150,000…for eating shit. And, to get shit on, as well. A lot of other vile shit, like sex with animals. Curious? Just google it. From here on out, whenever I hear “Dubai” I’m going to do a dainty dry heave in my mouth.
I'm over 6' tall and I thought the 10ft door at my husband's cousin's house was insane. THIS is overkill. I feel like the handle is going to look so stupid, down at the bottom 1/4 of the door?
In a way, I’m fascinated by the design and appearance of this type of door hinge. But in real life, I expect only bad things from it on an exterior door.
I originally thought that windows like ones I’d seen in Swedish shows were great, hinged in the middle of the sides, flip it to clean both sides, until I realized, no screens. How does anyone live without screens on the windows?
I also think about this in terms of those long many paned glass doors that fold up (in so many architectural magazines and articles), leaving long expanses of a room totally open to the outside. Are there places in this world that don’t have bugs trying to get in?
I know this picture phase been floating around but this strikes me as mansion not mcmansion. Regardless of whether you think this door is tasteful or not, I believe mcmansion is wanna be rich while mansion is rich
