S+SP Architects is a design firm that recently put together a home with a facade put together from a variety of recycled door frames. The space features a unconventional aesthetic made from a mosaic of different door types and styles as a way to repurpose unwanted material and reflect the aesthetic of the local area.
The house is modern in design with a two floor walk-up made from a concrete base. The front of the house features a small extended blue glass porch and a facade constructed using a variety of doors and vintage windows stacked together to create a collage. Each door and window can be opened to let air in and expose the entire wall to the outdoors.
