The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) recently completed an installation of its commercial grade expanding security doors at the historic Capitol Theatre, located on Melbourne’s Swanston Street. The specifying architect was Melbourne based Six Degrees Architects, and the project managers were Hutchinson Builders
The RMIT owned, heritage-listed theatre is part of the Capitol House building originally designed by Walter Burley Griffin and his wife Marion, in ornate Chicago-gothic style. It has recently undergone a $40 million refurbishment. .
ATDC’s S04 trackless expanding security doors were installed to the bar areas on two different levels of the building. When unlocked and opened, these doors fold and stack back to a minimal storage size of just 12% of the opening width being secured, thus making them an attractive option to specifying architects and developers alike.
