In the gym, a pocket door replaces a traditional swinging door to maximize usable space. The architect’s decision to incorporate this system eliminated the visual and physical obstruction a standard swinging door would create, ensuring an open and inviting area for workouts.

Benefit: Keeps the gym layout uncluttered while seamlessly blending with the surrounding design.

A bathroom pocket door finished with white oak is another standout feature. This door highlights Julian's attention to detail, tying the door’s finish to the home’s broader aesthetic.

Design Detail: Quarter-inch reveal with white oak trim, complementing the home’s built-ins and natural wood accents.

One of the most impressive features of this home is the 4’6” x 10’0” pocket door. Weighing over 300 pounds, it showcases how pocket doors can accommodate even the most ambitious design specifications.

Engineering Excellence: Despite its size and weight, the door operates smoothly, thanks to the CS Cavity Sliders track system and soft-close functionality.

In the primary suite, bi-parting pocket doors replace traditional French doors. This choice prevents interference with furniture and ensures an unobstructed flow between the bedroom, bathroom, and closet.

Advantages:

• Eliminates hallway obstructions.
• Preserves light switch accessibility.
• Complements the suite’s open layout.

Throughout the home, Julian installed full-height, ceiling-recessed pocket doors in the bedrooms and the office. These doors enhance the minimalist aesthetic while maintaining practicality and privacy in each space.

The pantry’s 10-foot-tall pocket door disappears into the wall when open, emphasizing the room’s design features, including custom-built shelving and textured wallpaper.

Advantages:

• Partitions the pantry’s abundance from the rest of the home’s sleek aesthetic.
• Eliminates door swinging and obstruction into custom built-ins

The consistent use of quarter-inch reveals and white oak trims tie every pocket door into the home’s broader design scheme. Floor-to-ceiling doors and windows create an uninterrupted verticality, emphasizing the views and maximizing natural light.
