ARISTA

The Los Angeles Door is a bold statement—a 60-inch-wide, center-pivot, semi-circle exterior door that pushes the boundaries of craftsmanship and engineering. Few companies in the world have mastered the complexities of manufacturing a pivot door of this size using solid wood construction, and Arista has taken it a step further by integrating ultra-thin natural stone.

The journey of this door began with the idea of using the FritsJurgens M+ System as a center pivot, ensuring flawless movement despite its weight and scale. While exploring materials that could elevate its presence, we discovered ultra-thin real stone from a Los Angeles-based company—an authentic and refined alternative to the onyx stones becoming popular in the industry. This discovery sparked the vision: a door that seamlessly blends the warmth of wood with the raw, organic beauty of stone.

Constructing a 60-inch-wide semi-circular pivot door is a challenge on its own—adding full stone panels elevated the complexity. The precision required to laminate, balance, and integrate these materials into a 3-inch-thick custom frame system demanded an unparalleled level of expertise. To ensure durability, security, and weather resistance, the door is sealed with dual weatherstripping, a bottom dropdown seal, and equipped with two independent multi-point locking systems.

Security and convenience merge seamlessly with technology—a motorized locking system activated by an eKey fingerprint scanner from the outside and a wave sensor from the inside, eliminating the need for traditional keys.

The Los Angeles Door embodies the city’s signature architectural aesthetic—a perfect fusion of organic materials, cutting-edge engineering, and modern smart home integration. It is not just a door; it is a functional sculpture, designed for those who seek exclusivity, craftsmanship, and innovation in their living spaces.
