A look at the sliding and pivot glass doors recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records.

A Malaysian project recognised in FritsJurgens’ Best Pivot Door Contest 2024.

Ethereal Home in Sierramas was selected among the top five in the Specialty Application category of the FritsJurgens Best Pivot Door Contest 2024.

FritsJurgens’ published results identify Trend Thermal Windows & Doors Sdn Bhd as the designer and manufacturer of the installation.

Architecture experienced through movement

The project’s tall glass pivot panels make opening the room an architectural event. Their scale brings attention to an often-overlooked part of a design: how an opening feels in use.

For architects and owners considering a similar ambition, early coordination matters. Panel proportions, clearances, hardware selection, supporting structure and access for maintenance all belong in the same discussion.
