More about this product
Create inside-outside living without the compromises with the world’s first Integrated Doors.
Challenging all concepts of what is know as a door today, Centor has combined doors, screens, shades and hardware as one, to create a new category of Integrated Doors that connect homeowners to the outside without the compromises.
As first product in the range, the Centor Integrated Folding Door is available in many configurations and can span openings up to 9214mm (30’ 2 ¾”) wide.
Providing unprecedented versatility, the built-in screens and shades control insects, sunlight and privacy and retract completely into the doorframe when not in use. The screens are available in two mesh types, controlling even the smallest insects, while the shades include Light-filtering and Blackout options. There’s a choice of three fabric patterns, with a range of colours offered in each.
To further minimise visual distractions to outside views, Integrated Folding Doors feature the self-latching magnetic Centor AutoLatch™ that allows you to close and lock door panels with a single hand movement. Concealed hinges remain out of sight when the panels are closed. Each component works seamlessly with the next to deliver superior performance. Panels glide with fingertip operation thanks to Centor’s patent-pending hardware.
Integrated Folding Doors are constructed from thermally-improved aluminium and are available in a range of interior and exterior finish options. They are designed to complement many architectural styles and are compatible with most forms of wall construction.
Centor Integrated Folding Doors have been recognised with several awards since their release, including a coveted Red Dot Design Award and Good Design Award in 2015.

More about this product
Create inside-outside living without the compromises with the world’s first Integrated Doors.
Challenging all concepts of what is know as a door today, Centor has combined doors, screens, shades and hardware as one, to create a new category of Integrated Doors that connect homeowners to the outside without the compromises.
Building on the success of the award-winning Integrated Folding Door, the much-anticipated Sliding option features a frameless fixed glass panel to provide a greater connection with the outside. To further enhance this connection the sliding panel aligns with the mullion, whether the panel is open or closed.
The Integrated Sliding Door is available in a two-panel configuration. Panels can be specified as symmetrical, for a greater flow between inside and out, or asymmetrical, for a larger area of uninterrupted glass to enjoy views to outside.
Integrated Sliding Doors incorporate new door technology designed by Centor. The SafePull™ (patent pending) exterior handle provides safe operation of the door while allowing the sliding panel to align precisely with the fixed panel for a slimline look, while the high-performance lock provides anti-lift reassurance.
Available with the same built-in insect screens and shades as the existing Integrated Door range, the Integrated Sliding Door is constructed in thermally-improved aluminium and features a solid wood interior and low-maintenance aluminium exterior.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) announced the winners of their 18th annual Housing Awards, which recognize the best in housing design for new constructions, restorations, and renovations. This year the five-person jury selected eleven projects to receive awards in four categories: one- and two-family custom residences; one- and two-family production homes; multifamily housing; and specialized housing.
According to the AIA, the jury assessed each project for demonstrating design excellence, as well as sustainability, cost, durability, innovation, social impact, meeting client needs, and addressing the natural and built contexts.
The following projects were selected as this year’s winners:

The New York City Public Design Commission and Mayor Bill de Blasio have announced the 11 projects selected as winners of their 2018 Awards for Excellence in Design. Established in 1983, the award has been bestowed annually to projects from the city’s five boroughs that “exemplify how innovative and thoughtful design can provide New Yorkers with the best possible public spaces and services and engender a sense of civic pride.”
The 2018 awards recognized projects which responded to the de Blasio Administration’s commitment to providing an “equitable, resilient, and diverse city for all New Yorkers.” All five New York boroughs feature in the awards, with schemes encompassing education, culture, art, and recreation.
These eleven winning schools, parks, libraries, museums, and artworks aren’t only beautiful – they enrich their communities by bringing revitalizing existing spaces and creating vibrant new ones.

2019 TAB Curators. Image Courtesy of Estonian Centre for Architecture
Dr. Yael Reisner of Yael Reisner Studio, London, was selected as head curator for the 2019 Tallinn Architecture Biennale titled: “Beauty Matter: The Resurgence of Beauty.” The architect’s winning proposal rejuvenates the importance of beauty, reflecting on how after almost 8 years of beauty being a tabooed subject, a cultural shift has changed its perception. The selected assistant curator will be Johanna Jõekalda, who has previously advised on the Estonian architectural scene and its socio-political-cultural features.
The Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB) which will take place in September and October 2019, will bring the status of beauty into discussion, discovering it through the lens of new environments. The exhibition will tackle two important issues in the architecture: “society in response to alienating built environments and the ecologically unfit.”

The curatorial team has added to this rebellious topic a prophetic yet relevant approach to how the developments in neurology and mathematical physics are broadening our knowledge in experiencing beauty. The curator is looking at the complex topic of beauty through many spectrums and doing it at a very appropriate time- when everyone seems to be talking about beauty and aesthetic experience, but dealing with on professional level is still naïve – Villem Tomiste, Head of TAB Committee.
The team includes two more assistant curators, architects Barnaby Gunning and Artur Staškevitš, residing in London and Tallinn respectively.
The Fundació Mies van der Rohe has announced a list of 40 projects that will compete for the Young Talent Architecture Award (YTAA) 2018. The award was established in 2016 to “support the talent of recently graduated Architects, Urban Planners and Landscape Architects who will be responsible for transforming our environment in the future,” and joins the Foundation’s European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award “in promoting high quality work amongst emerging and established architects through the acknowledgement of the value of good buildings.”
More than 330 projects were submitted from over 118 European, Chinese, and Korean architecture schools, which were narrowed down to a shortlist of 40 projects by an esteemed jury of architects and curators. The YTAA 2018 exhibition is a collateral event at the Venice Biennale, opening on May 24th at the Palazzo Mora, where 12 finalists will be announced. The names of the four winning schemes will become known on June 28th.

Hiroshi Sambuichi‘s approach to a site entails long-term study and reflection upon the qualities and forces of nature embedded within. His understanding is “deeper and with a finer grain,” explains American architect and member of The Daylight Award jury James Carpenter as one of several reasons why Sambuichi was recently announced as the latest laureate of the nearly 50-year-old Daylight Award in 2018. In Sambuichi’s hands, “light becomes timeless, fluid and rich.”
“An example is The Naoshima Hall,” says Carpenter. “It sits remarkably compressed within the landscape. As in all his work, Sambuichi’s mastery in framing volumes of light is here expressed as a horizontal work of spatial release, converting an intimate moment into an intense collective engagement with the natural world.”
“Sambuichi’s work, in such projects as the Miyajima Misen Observatory and Hiroshima Orizuru Tower, constantly explores the thin film of space which we occupy on earth—a sliver of tactility, the richness of an intimate ecology. This awareness of the narrow band of topography, our sedimentary layer of life, with the weight of time below coupled with the weightlessness of time above us, is the world revealed by his work.”
“All architects speak of the site being important for the work, “ Carpenter says. “For Sambuichi, there is a much deeper and finer grain to his understanding of the site. It is an understanding that resonates with the forces of the wind, rain, sun and earthen elements, speaking to a more metaphysical sublime.”
Next to Hiroshi Sambuichi, the American researcher and computer scientist Greg Ward will receive The Daylight Award 2018 for his pioneering work with the software, Radiance.
Since 1980, The Daylight Award has recognized prominent practitioners in the fields of daylight in architecture and daylight research for the benefit of human health, well-being, and the environment. In addition to the honor, the laureates each receive €100,000 for their groundbreaking work and dedication to daylight. The Daylight Award is presented by the philanthropic foundations, VILLUM FONDEN, VELUX FONDEN and VELUX STIFTUNG. Find out more about the award on their website.
