Millennium Tower Seattle

The Millennium Tower

The skyline of Seattle is adorned with beautiful spires and towers, and the Millennium Tower is one of the structures to call that sky home. Standing at over 280 feet tall, the Millennium Tower is a testament to luxury and design, as it is home to 19 prestigious condos and sits right off the water in Downtown Seattle.

The Millennium Tower was designed by the Olson Kundig architect firm, and the individual homes within were designed by the architects from Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership. This brilliant combination of efforts has led to one of the most incredible living spaces in the Seattle area, and Sing Core is honored to have been involved in this project.

Sing Core was contacted regarding a large pocket door for the interior of the tower, specifically within one of the condos, measuring 54.5 tall inches by 111.5 inches wide, and 2.25 inches thick. This door weighs approximately 200 pounds, which is substantially less than a door of this size would if made using traditional methods and materials.

Why Sing Core?

Sing Core has long been sought after for use in high end and luxury homes, penthouses, and more. Our patented and patent-pending technologies allow us to create the highest quality lightweight door and wall panels, without compromising on strength or durability. Our panels can be made to nearly any size and specification, and are pound-for-pound stronger than steel. These features, along with the many other benefits of Sing Core, are what led the design teams to utilize our product.

Another large reason the company decided to go with Sing Core was in regards to the type of door they were wanting. Our panel was used to make a large pocket door, which are notoriously difficult. First, pocket doors are a variant of sliding doors that slide into a “pocket” within a wall instead of sliding in front of the wall itself. These doors must be perfectly straight, otherwise they will not fit within the tight space in the wall. Pocket doors are also severely limited on their weight, as a heavy pocket door can prove difficult to use and damaging for the hardware.

Another major complication with pocket doors, especially of this size, is the risk of warping. A warped door is never good, and often leads to total structure failure and replacement. The larger the door, however, the more likely it is to warp due to the increased tension on the surface. Plus, with pocket doors, even the slightest warp can ruin the door and stop it from functioning. A little bend can cause the rollers to jam or break, or if the warp is significant enough, it can start to scrape along the wall inside, or get stuck in the pocket entirely. Luckily, Sing Core doors never warp, and are guaranteed to not warp or fail for 50 Years.

A Successful Project

Despite all of this, an excellent design, a skilled construction crew, and a flawless Sing Core panel led to a gorgeous condo within this incredible building. Unique projects such as these are what allow the luxury design world to thrive, and Sing Core is proud to have been involved in something that is such a testament to this industry.

Sing Core for Luxury Homes

When it comes to luxury homes and high-end buildings, every detail matters, and the choice of building materials is crucial to achieving the desired outcome. Doors are an essential element of any building and must be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Sing Core provides architects with an innovative material option for luxury doors and high-end homes that offers both beauty and functionality.

Sing Core is a patented technology that uses a unique honeycomb core and high quality materials to create lightweight, sturdy, and high-strength panels that are perfect for luxury doors and high-end homes. Unlike traditional building materials, Sing Core is highly customizable, allowing architects to create unique and visually stunning doors that stand out from the crowd.

One of the key benefits of using Sing Core for luxury doors and high-end homes is its lightweight nature. Traditional building materials, such as solid wood, can be heavy and cumbersome, making them difficult to work with and install. Sing Core panels, on the other hand, are lightweight and easy to handle, reducing installation time and labor costs.

In addition to their lightweight nature, Sing Core panels are also incredibly strong and durable, making them an ideal choice for high-traffic areas. Sing Core panels can withstand heavy use without warping or bending, ensuring that the doors maintain their shape and function for years to come. In fact, all of our professional panels come with a 50 Year Warp-Free and Structural Guarantee, so you never have to worry about the effectiveness of your design.

Another benefit of Sing Core panels is their excellent insulation properties. The insulated honeycomb structure of the core creates a temperature buffer that helps trap heat, making these doors an excellent choice for colder climates. This insulation can help to reduce energy bills and make luxury homes more comfortable for their occupants.

Sing Core panels also offer superior soundproofing capabilities, making them a popular choice for luxury homes and high-end buildings. The panels’ unique design helps to absorb sound, reducing noise pollution and creating a quieter, more peaceful environment for residents and occupants.

Sing Core panels are also completely custom, offering architects the flexibility to create doors of any shape, size, or style. Whether it’s a grand entrance door, an interior door with intricate details, or a custom-made sliding door, Sing Core can be adapted to meet the specific needs of any project.

Lastly, Sing Core panels are an environmentally friendly option, made from sustainable materials and in a no-burn factory. This makes them a smart choice for architects looking to create sustainable, eco-friendly buildings that are both functional and visually stunning.

In conclusion, Sing Core panels are a superior option for architects designing luxury doors and high-end homes. Their lightweight, high-strength design, insulation properties, soundproofing, customizability, and sustainability make them a smart choice for architects looking to create stunning, functional, and environmentally friendly buildings. Whether it’s a grand entrance door or a custom-made interior door, Sing Core panels provide architects with the flexibility and creativity they need to create a truly unique and visually stunning space.
