‘maxdoor’ with remote control key opening

the brazilian design group nódesign has sent us their latest project ‘maxdoor’. the project is a front door
design which is part of the ‘maxhaus’ housing concept in brazil, which allows residents to design the
layout of their own apartment over the internet. ‘maxdoor’ was designed to be the gateway to this new
living concept. as nódesign states, ‘a door is a divider and at the same time a link between two spaces’.
in this light, they conceived of a door which challenged the conventions of a door. ‘maxdoor’ uses
a remote control instead of a key and it also opens automatically by touching the doorknob. it uses
a digital door bell, LED lock and number lighting, sound proofing, hidden peephole and a backup battery
which allows it to work for up to a week without power. although the door is very high-tech, it has
a simple interface making it approachable to all users.
