SIMONSWERK and architecture
Depending on their functional requirements, buildings and rooms make different structural demands of the door system, be they physical, safety or aesthetic. Doors vary in architecture depending on the area of application such as in commercial or residential buildings or in terms of the load capacity, dimensioning, design or stress.
SIMONSWERK provides appropriate hinge solutions for all structural and design-based requirements and technical challenges.

Solutions for a range
of design tasks
“Making something invisible is also design!” It can present a certain incentive to design things so that their actual value isn’t apparent at first, giving other elements some space. Flushness is a design principle that radiates minimalism and involves precise technology and perfection. The completely concealed TECTUS hinge system makes it possible to integrate doors fully flush in linear room structures.
Architectural dimensions are defined by lines and surfaces. In architecture, entrances, exits and doorways have a role in setting the scene and are essential for the effect a building has. Overdimensioned doorways, for example in museums, concert halls and other public buildings, are imposing and require ever greater load-bearing capacities in hinge systems. SIMONSWERK provides optimal solutions for these applications with hinges to bear loads up to 400 kg.
Governmental and local regulations and technical requirements in smoke and fire protection, burglary prevention and soundproofing pose increasingly demanding requirements on the entire door system. SIMONSWERK heavy-duty hinges give you a range of solutions. For instance, they can be used reliably in emergency and escape exits.
Materials, finishes and feel influence the character of a room. So it’s important to ensure the design concept is completely rounded off in all its details. The goal and starting point should be a harmonious overall concept always based on products perfected in terms of quality and aesthetics. This can be seen in the top-quality finishes in SIMONSWERK products. SIMONSWERK offers plated, painted and powder-coated finishes. Solid bronze or durable stainless steel hinges also create subtle accents in architectural contexts.
In architecture, doors are fundamentally differentiated according to their areas of application; specifically, the areas of heavy-duty, residential and house front doors. These differ in the details of load capacity, dimensions, design and equipment. SIMONSWERK can provide a suitable hinge solution for all building situations, a wide range of design requirements and any technical challenge.
Architecture is diverse. Stringent requirements in terms of technology and outstanding design are making architecture increasingly complex. Solutions for individual building tasks are key here for special requirements. SIMONSWERK provides a range of special hinge systems, from special hinges for healthcare buildings and daycare centres to solutions for building renovation.
Finishes give materials their unique character. They’re fascinating in their own way and this can be seen in SIMONSWERK hinges.

Westphalian State Museum of Art and Cultural History
Westphalian State Museum of Art and Cultural History
The Westphalian State Museum of Art and Cultural History was designed by the Berlin-based architect Volker Staab in Münster and breaks new architectural and urban development grounds. The entrance was made to face towards the city centre and thus forms an extension of the city space into the heart of the city. Visitors to the museum pass through four forecourts to gain access to an open atrium that is the full height of the building.
Kirchberg rehabilitation centre
Kirchberg rehabilitation centre
In the Kirchberg rehabilitation centre in Luxembourg, designed by m3 architects, patients and visitors encounter many different wooden elements which create a natural atmosphere in the interior rooms. At the same time, the largely glass façade allows plenty of light into the interior, which can contribute to relaxation, recovery and recuperation – an important aspect for a facility designed to promote mental and physical health.
