Bi-folding Door Highline | Highline

As well as being historically protected, the conference space at the Palais an der Oper, Munich would been to be extremely versatile for different uses. Using the Highline bi-folding door as a partition, it was made possible to combine two or all three conference rooms into one. In addition, the entire opera hall remains available for larger events. The number of glass elements is the same in all three individual installations: viewed from outside, four elements fold away to the left and one to the right inside the respective room, following an accordion principle. If the bi-folding doors are to remain closed, the glass entrance door on the right side of the room provides access. Thanks to the smooth functioning and outstanding practicality of the system, the opera hall is able to host many different events.

The triple glazing makes the bi-folding doors exceptionally solid for use as partitions and provides the necessary sound insulation. Aesthetically, the elegant, high-quality all-glass look of the bi-folding doors strikes a modern contrast with the historic architecture. The flat glass surface on the outside appears virtually frameless.
