Special Doors

Written By William Robert King, RA

These are three types of “special doors” – pocket, cased opening and concealed. I use pocket doors when a door is mostly either closed most of the time or it is open.

These doors are not for high traffic and are used mostly for room separations. If there’s no need for a door at all to separate two spaces, I’ll use a large wall opening and trim it out with door casings.

If I need a door, but don’t want it to be part of the space, I use a “concealed door”, especially for storage closets.

William Robert King, RA

In June of 1979, William Robert King, the firm’s founder, began his career in New York City as a project architect in the office of Ulrich Franzen and Associates, a noted international architectural firm. Mr. King’s experience working on projects such as Champion International Headquarters in Stamford, CT; Con Edison-Queens Division Headquarters in Forest Hills, NY; and the Headquarters for Philip Morris in New York City among many others, created the background for establishing his own practice in April of 1984.

From that point onward, Mr. King has developed a firm known for expertise in a wide range of projects and providing a variety of services for a diverse clientele.

In the first decade of practice, the firm’s work concentrated on residential rehabilitation projects for individual clients. In the years since the firm has seen a continuing trend towards residential, medical and commercial projects.

We are committed to improving the quality of services as well as maintaining our high design standards. Toward that end, we have fully computerized drafting & design, utilizing AutoCad, 3D Studio Max and Microsoft Visio Professional software.
