Do you have any idea what exact direction is up in that photo, or what the angle of the floor is behind the door? I can imagine scenarios in which the doorway, though strange looking, might represent the a good solution for a difficult relationship between the contour of the ground and the floors of the building. It’s hard to tell without more context and a clear indication of whether the door sill is horizontal but the courses of stone are not, or whether the courses of stone are horizontal but the space behind the door is sloped for some reason. Any idea what’s going on?
some people would say “that’s art”
Is it a fun house?
I feel like I’m in a scene from the old Batman show…
Bet this picture doesn’t make the storefront manufacturer’s projects list.
Have to wonder what it opens onto inside – the side of a ramp?
That’s so ugly it could be a modern art masterpiece.
Did Tim Burton come up with this solution?
Was this opening intended to be so twisted? [hope so] 🙂
That’s got to be a photoshopped picture. Every mullion and glass would have been custom sized. The clearances around the doors are too precise. I call faaaake…..;-)
It is a bit disorienting, but I do like it…just subtle enough to be wacky.
But how did they sell that to the client?
Definitely a candidate for the Pritzker.
I love this, function over form, most likely for ADA concerns.
Hello San Francisco.
the grades seem to exceed the maximum 2% cross slope for ADA and AAB.

Not as bad but some Art Deco
Coolest opening ever. That’s thinking outside the box.
Some buildings are designed to look as though they’re sitting crooked in the ground. I wonder if the door sill might in fact be perfectly horizontal, and the front face perfectly vertical, but the roof sloped parallel to the brick lines and the side walls sloped perpendicular to them?
