High-performance vertical bifold doors, typically seen on aircraft hangars, are repurposed here for fleet maintenance and workshop access. Clad in curtain wall, they provide an outdoor sheltered work zone when open, avoiding the typical interference with ceiling-level mechanical systems and lighting, maximize natural light and achieve visual continuity with the building envelope.
