St Marcy Chapel pivot door with

FritsJurgens pivot hinge System 3

MODERN CHURCH ARCHITECTURE

PIVOTING CHAPEL DOOR LIVONIA, USA

Modern Church architecture can be found within this incredible St. Mary Chapel. The interior chapel pivot door was designed by PLY+ and manufactured by Synecdoche Design Studio.

The modern chapel door is fitted with FritsJurgens System 3 pivot hinge system.

System 3 offers hold positions at every 90 degrees angle, ensuring that the door will always return to a perfect open or closed position.

A MODERN CHAPEL DOOR

The modern pivoting chapel door is fabricated from a steel frame with walnut slats and makes the perfect entry for this beautifully designed Chapel.

The walnut slats are also implemented in the ceiling, making the door form a unity with the interior of the Chapel.

MORE THAN ONE PURPOSE

The Chapel accommodates Mass for thirty regular attendees on a daily basis and has seasonal functions that can draw more attendees. The hospital also seeks to serve other faiths and has spaces for non-Catholic Christians and non-Christian Abrahamic faiths.

This church is not only modern in faith and religion but also displays modern church architecture, as this beautiful pivot door displays. These spaces also accommodate different types of imagery, from figural Catholic to non-figural Muslim.

MODERN CHURCH ARCHITECTURE

In this modern church architecture, the three main spiritual spaces are organized to be accessed from a single gathering space, the Narthex.

A future phase will include a healing garden and the west façade of the Chapel has been designed to establish a strong visual connection to this future garden.

Whatever the future may hold for the St. Mary Chapel, the stunning pivoting chapel door will be there to witness the developments of the chapel. FritsJurgens pivot hinge systems are tested to last at least 1 million opening and closing movements; the equivalent of 125 years of (daily) usage.

ELEGANT MOVEMENT OF THE CHAPEL PIVOT DOOR

The effortless movement of this large door is made possible by the System 3 pivot hinge system of FritsJurgens. With the touch of a finger, you set the pivot door in motion with a single fluid movement. A smooth functioning door with FritsJurgens inside.
