Kop van Zuid in Rotterdam, is the prominent location of the World Port Center designed by Sir Norman Foster Architects. Graziosi Progetti was asked to renovate the entrance to incorporate a central Reception area.

Bauporte and the architect designed a brand new concept for the entrance of the building. The biggest challenge was that the existing revolving door was out of proportion to the building. It was too low, too wide and looked dated. It also stood away from the façade, giving it the appearance that it was divided.

Graziosi Progetti Architects in collaboration with Bauporte designed a sleek 5.5 m high revolving door with oblique LED lighting. This TALL door is driven by an overhead drive in the canopy.

The ceiling of the revolver is provided with unique integrated LED lighting which gives an ambient light. And despite the height of the revolving door, it is fully compliant with the D IN EN 16005 safety standard.

Sensor technology in the door makes collisions impossible, and the curved night closure doors keeps the door locked and secure at night.
