Concertina Door

Our plan to have a concertina door running off the kitchen onto the deck has been a bit of a problem from the very get go. We asked the construction boss if it could be done and he said no way. It was impossible because he had never done it before. Everyone we have spoken to about it has said it will be problematic due to typhoons and rains ability to sneak through cracks that will be numerous as it is a concertina door. Then there was the cost. It was gonna be prohibitively expensive to do it in wood. We had the option of doing it in aluminium but that will be ugly. At the moment we have this big space.

當我們確定要在廚房與戶外平台的連結牆壁做成折疊門，
並與建商溝通時，他說他從沒做過且不可能做得成
說這是國外的東西，國外沒有颱風也很少下雨，這樣才適合做
之後，我們也詢問了友人，友人說:可以做，但會很貴且也是會有颱風跟雨的問題

We want the deck and the kitchen floor to be at the exact same height so when the door is completely open the line between indoors and outside is blurred.
房子完工後，平台高度將會與廚房地板一樣高，
開趴時，摺疊門一開.....哇~~
戶外平台跟廚房將會是相通的，整個空間感會差很多
客廳連結到廚房(客廳跟廚房也是開放式空間)、木造平台+戶外草皮
實在是太吸引人了
所以....我們決定還是要做折疊門
Anyway, we were at a cool restaurant called Toasteria in Taipei on Sunday and found this door.

It's metal but not aluminium. It had kind of a brushed metal finish. From a distance it looked like wood. It might be the solution to the problem!

上週末去台北師大商圈裡的一間叫土斯利亞的餐廳
困時發現他們有做折疊門!!!
且是用鐵做成的
真是太酷了，看到這個折疊門後
我們的摺疊門一定可以成功!!
