Minimalist elegance: Automatic sliding doors in DC Tower 1

The continuity of the door design can also be found in the entrance area of the John Harris Fitness Club, in the exclusive hospitality area at the top of the tower with the 57 Restaurant & Lounge, and on the roof terrace; Slimdrive SL NT drives move the glass doors with precision and elegant ease. Both powerful and quiet, they are perfect for heavily used areas and offer flexible ease of access by adjusting their hold-open time to fit the frequency of people passing through. The movement parameters of the door leaves can be adjusted individually.

State-of-the-art control technology ensures that Slimdrive SL NT drive systems are future-proof.; The technology facilitates a link to the building system so that door functions can be monitored or modified, even remotely. The automatic sliding doors in the lower floors were equipped with special Slimdrive FR drive versions as escape and rescue route doors, as well as air supply openings in the event of a fire.

Escape and rescue routes – safety with design

The architectures also relied on door technology by GEZE for preventive fire protection and to safeguard rescue routes. 50 elegant door control units from the TZ 300 series are used to secure the escape and rescue route doors in the entire stairway. Tailor-made ventilation technology ensures reliable smoke and heat extraction (RWA) in the event of a fire. The stairwell doors are equipped with K 600 retractable arm drives. If there is a fire, the doors are pushed apart and held wide open to allow smoke and heat to escape quickly and efficiently.
