70 metres of door front, just three columns

The hall opens up across a 70-metre-wide door front. To let the sliding doors open as wide as possible, only the bare minimum stands in the way of this front: three columns on an 18-metre grid. Each door can therefore open up to 18 metres.

A beam layer above the doors carries an additional level. Normally this floor would need its own columns, right where the doors are meant to open. Instead, the beam layer is suspended from the roof trusses: three trusses, each 25 metres long, take the load and stand 4 metres tall at the door front. The floor hangs from the structure rather than blocking the passage. That keeps the door front clear and is what makes the large openings possible.
