“Boon Edam was very focused on finding the right
door solution for us, even taking us on research
tours so we could try out different door solutions,”

“Perhaps the most important thing was that we
did not try to copy anything, instead we used our
research to create the perfect solution for our

One of the primary challenges designers faced
was concealing the entrance’s technical aspects
so as not to interfere with the overall user experi-
ence and impression of the entrance.
The motors were built into the floor, the control
boxes were designed to be situated at a lower
level in the building, and the vertical heaters were
integrated into the centerline of the doors.

After the installation of the Boon Edam revolving
doors, a champagne bar was opened in the en-

“It felt great to see how the light came through
the glass doors and the facade windows,” added
Anne Teresiak.
“It was like the room had become complete
again.”
Peter Appelgren, representing the station own-
ers, Jernhusen, said, “The revolving doors are
now an integrated part of the entrance hall.”
“We’ve managed to capture the ambience of the
old, while still making sure we meet the modern
demands of energy savings as well as maintain-
ing high-volume traffic flow.”
