National Art Gallery - Stainless Steel Doors

Location: Ottawa, Ontario

Designer/Architect: Moshe Safdie Architects

Duration: May 1987 - Jul 1988

Scope: Soheil Mosun Limited was contracted to fabricate and install (50) pairs of all welded, mirror polished stainless steel and tempered glass frameless doors with cast polished st. stl. door pulls.

Highlights: The project included (4) pairs of oversize exterior main entrance doors with balanced door hardware and offset pivots and (46) pairs of oversize interior entrance doors to all art galleries. All doors were fit into limestone frames with offset pivots, set into the headers and into the granite floors, and with electrically operated locks set into the leading edges of the doors. All glass stops were detailed to include blind fasteners to maintain a pristine surface of st. stl. and glass.
