BARD COLLEGE'S MULTI-USE SPACE
THE PROJECT
Bard College in New York embarked on a unique architectural project to create a multi-use space for its students. The project aimed to utilize shipping containers to construct an innovative space that met the needs of Bard College's diverse student community. The design challenge was to create a structure that was not only aesthetically pleasing but flexible and conducive to a dynamic learning environment.
Many manufacturers build industrial hangar doors that can be slow-moving, loud, and prone to hazardous hydraulic fluid leaks, but Bard College needed something better. To achieve this vision the college collaborated with Renlita to design a 16’x7’ S-2000 Hingeway door with Low-E glass cladding on the first floor.
OUR SOLUTION
The S-2000 Hingeway counterweight door, provided by Renlita, was the perfect choice for this project due to its exceptional flexibility and features. It provides less intrusion into the interior, less unusable space when open, and more of a canopy to the exterior. It also runs on 110v, unlike hydraulic pump doors, which usually require 240v and a large bulky cutoff box.
The door was installed on the first floor, acting as a focal point and connecting the interior space with the surrounding landscape. Its impressive dimensions, measuring 16x7 feet, ensured an expansive opening, allowing the building to easily transform for the needs of the students and faculty.
The door had glass cladding, which added to its aesthetic appeal and served a functional purpose. The glass cladding flooded the interior space with abundant natural light, creating a bright and inviting ambiance for various activities. The infusion of natural light played a pivotal role in promoting a creative and positive learning environment.

SUNDANCE SQUARE PAVILION EVENT VENUE
THE PROJECT
Located in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, Texas, Sundance Square Pavilion is a stunning and popular destination for both private and public events. The venue caters to a wide range of events, including weddings, corporate functions, exhibitions, cultural gatherings, and community festivals. The most obvious design challenge was to enhance the venue's flexibility and accessibility, and the management sought modern and customizable door solutions.
OUR SOLUTION
Sundance Square Pavilion needed something better than hydraulic doors as many are slow, noisy, and can leak dangerous fluids. After careful consideration, they chose to put sixteen S-2000 Hingeway doors on three sides of the building to increase access and flexibility. The S-2000 Hingeway doors have gained recognition for their innovative design, which combines the functionality of a door with the elegance of a glass wall in a unique folding design.
The installation at Sundance Square Pavilion has been a game-changer for the venue's functionality and aesthetics. The doors' versatility, minimized internal projection, and ability to maximize the opening size have provided the management with unprecedented customization options for each event.
Additionally, the doors improve public access and participation, making the venue more appealing and welcoming to everyone in Fort Worth, Texas. With the S-2000 Hingeway doors, Sundance Square Pavilion continues to leave a lasting impression on its visitors and remains a symbol of elegance and adaptability in the event industry.
BENEFITS
1.Versatility and Adaptability
The most significant advantage of the S-2000 Hingeway doors lies in their versatility. With the ability to fully open or close them, the doors allow the venue's event space to transition between an indoor and outdoor setting seamlessly creating a flexible space. This feature is very important because it allows the management to change the venue's layout for different events.
2. Minimized Internal Projection
Traditional hangar doors can often intrude on a space, obstructing the view and causing unnecessary distractions. However, we have specially designed the S-2000 Hingeway counterweight doors to minimize internal projection. When the doors are fully opened, they neatly stack above, ensuring that they do not obstruct the open space and instead draw the attention of guests to the event itself.
3. Public Access
One of the unique features of Sundance Square Pavilion is its accessibility to the public when not booked for private events. The S-2000 Hingeway doors play a significant role in this aspect. By utilizing these doors, the venue can maintain a visually appealing façade that remains inviting even when the space is not in use for private events. This approach fosters community engagement and reinforces Sundance Square Pavilion as a vibrant public space.

JAVITS CENTER ROOFTOP EVENT VENUE
THE PROJECT
The Javits Center's rooftop venue in New York City stands as an epitome of modern elegance and versatility. Offering breathtaking views of the Hudson River, this glass pavilion and outdoor terrace have become a sought-after destination for private events of all kinds. To make the space more attractive and versatile, an innovative solution was needed and ModernfoldStyles, Inc., Renlita's New York partner knew what to do.
While the venue's design successfully integrated the indoors and outdoors, there was a desire to make the space even more versatile. The task was to find a solution that smoothly combined the inside and outside, worked for different events, and let guests enjoy the nearby working farm. This case study highlights how innovative solutions in event spaces can transform the guest experience and redefine event design possibilities.
OUR SOLUTION
The installation of the S-3000 Foldaway Door emerged as the perfect solution to elevate the venue's adaptability and provide a huge selling point for those high-end events. Positioned on the western side of the pavilion, the door facilitated a direct connection between the indoor event space and the sprawling outdoor terrace. The door's innovative folding mechanism enabled it to be opened or closed based on event requirements, seamlessly merging the interior and exterior spaces.
The addition of the S-3000 Foldaway Door transformed the Javits Center rooftop venue into an even more versatile and enchanting space. Event organizers could leverage the door's flexibility to create immersive experiences that catered to their specific needs. The door's seamless blend of indoor and outdoor elements contributed to the venue's status as a premier destination for private events.
The S-3000 Foldaway Door is unique compared to other options like hangar doors and hydraulic doors. Unlike regular hangar doors, it provides a sleeker and space-saving solution. Hangar doors could block views and disrupt the flow between indoors and outdoors. Hydraulic doors often need more space for equipment, which can be a problem in tight city areas, not to mention the loud hydraulics and the possibility of leaks. The S-3000 Foldaway Door's smart design makes better use of space.

THE PEARL DIVE OYSTER PALACE
THE PROJECT
Pearl Dive Oyster Palace, located in Washington, DC, is a renowned seafood restaurant known for its culinary excellence and unique dining experiences. In an industry where innovation and adaptability are key to success, Pearl Dive Oyster Palace embarked on a project that set them apart from the competition. This case study explores the restaurant's implementation of the S-1000 Floataway Vertical Door, a pioneering solution that seamlessly combined the building's historical style, practicality, and environmental adaptability.
Pearl Dive Oyster Palace was facing a common challenge in the restaurant industry: optimizing space and enhancing the overall dining experience, but the historical designation of the building made upgrades to the exterior particularly difficult. The restaurant's exterior seating area was to have a passthrough style bartop, but they couldn't find an opening to accommodate the unique arched window look that they needed. The establishment also needed an easy way to open up the dining room while maintaining the ability to regulate the fluctuating climate, considering the sometimes extreme weather in Washington, DC.
OUR SOLUTION
Pearl Dive Oyster Palace sought a unique and versatile solution, and their answer came in the form of the S-1000 Floataway Vertical Door. This innovative door not only served as a bartop but featured an arched top edge, making it a truly one-of-a-kind vertical opening. The vertical door allowed extra seating at the bartop when open, thus significantly increasing the restaurant's capacity and enhancing the customer experience.
The installation of the S-1000 Floataway Vertical Door at Pearl Dive Oyster Palace proved to be a game-changer. The restaurant saw an increase in the number of diners it could serve, and customer feedback on the ambiance was overwhelmingly positive. Guests appreciated the fresh air during the summer and the cozy warmth during the winter, making Pearl Dive Oyster Palace a year-round dining destination with an incredible focal point.
BENEFITS
1.Extra Seating
The S-1000 Floataway Vertical Door offered Pearl Dive Oyster Palace a novel way to accommodate more patrons. By converting the bartop into additional seating when the door was open, the restaurant could cater to a larger number of guests, thus increasing revenue potential.
2. Flexibility
The vertical door provided the restaurant with the flexibility to adapt to changing seasons and weather conditions. During the summer months, the door could be opened, allowing fresh air to circulate through the restaurant, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. In contrast, during the winter, they could close the door to maintain a warm and cozy environment for diners.
3. Historical Accuracy
One of the primary challenges when integrating a new door into a historic structure is the potential disruption of architectural integrity. Traditional hangar doors often struggle to maintain the visual and structural harmony of historical sites. However, Renlita's S-1000 Floataway door has successfully sidestepped this issue. The vertical lift system's arched design preserves the building's historical charm while providing a contemporary solution for improved access and ambiance. The S-1000 Floataway door is not just a window; it is a work of art. The arched top edge of Pearl Dive blends well with its historical context, meticulously designed and hand-crafted to match the historical architecture, demonstrating that modern innovation can coexist with historical accuracy.

The challenge was to create an entrance that was secure, easy to operate, and visually appealing, avoiding the drawbacks associated with traditional garage doors or hangar doors. These drawbacks included maintenance issues, noisy hydraulics, potential hydraulic leaks, and unsightly overhead tracks, cables and straps. The need for a large walk-through entrance that typical hangar doors couldn't provide further complicated the project.
