SYNUA, Armoured Pivot Door
Directly opposite the World Trade Centre, the sixty flats of the imposing Metropolis residential complex in Beijing soar in the skyline of the Chaoyang District, the modern district known as the embassy district, but also for its luxurious hotels, expensive restaurants and exclusive shops.
Inside Metropolis, the best international design style was chosen, which makes the living environment beautiful, safe and welcoming at the same time: the choice of entrance solutions could only fall on Oikos, in this case on the Synua Pivot Armoured Door and Synua Wall System, ideal for large dimensions and the perfect combination of technology and design. The Synua armoured swing door harmonises perfectly with the design and avant-garde but at the same time simple and elegant interiors of the Chinese complex, capturing the view and offering sensations and emotions from the very moment one crosses the threshold.
It is a complex of 60 luxury apartments, created paying attention to every tiny detail. In this project, the sophisticated design combines perfectly with more traditional soft lines thanks to the wise use of very high quality materials: the distinctive feature of the Neri & Hu design office that challenges the traditional boundaries of architecture to include other contemporary disciplines.
In this project the cultural, urban and historical context of the city acts as a starting point for the architectural explorations involved.
