The CYRK Building is a 14,500 square foot commercial and residential gem located in southeast Portland. DECA, an independent architecture and interior design studio in Portland, Oregon, designed it as a live-work environment. The owner maintains a primary residence on the second floor and a business office on the ground floor. An additional 1,200 square feet is set aside on the ground floor for commercial and retail use.

The LEED Platinum certified CYRK Building is a pillar of innovative and environmentally focused architecture. The elegant design features a green roof, solar panels (both PV and hydrogen), a ground-source heat pump, FSC certified lumber, and passive and active solar shading. Krownlab's

sliding door hardware is featured throughout the interior.

“The idea of creating a sustainable live-work building in a close-in, walkable neighborhood seemed like a smart way to use, time space and resources,” said project owner Bonnie Serkin. “It turns out we were right to consolidate our lives in one beautiful structure just down the street from the rest of our family and only a couple of blocks from restaurants and shops.”

For their second-story residence, the project owners wanted a guest wing that offered privacy to their visitors but was an accessible part of their home when vacant.

The DECA team designed a central gallery that connects the main stairwell entry to the dining room and living room. With Krownlab’s Baldur hardware, the owner’s home is a versatile and adaptive space capable of opening or concealing the kitchen as well as the guest suite to the main gallery.

“We designed two sliding resin-panel walls,” said DECA principal David Hyman. “One was 9’ long and the other 14’ long. The large one weighed several hundred pounds and needed to be effortless for any of the homeowners to use. Krownlab’s rolling door hardware fit the ticket. It is both beautiful and extremely well-built.”

Precision-manufactured from high quality 300- and 400- series stainless steel, Baldur hardware feature four-inch diameter unsealed bearings and a patented hubless design.

“With the superb craftsmanship of the hardware, the overall effect was stunning,” said Hyman. “We’ve used Krownlab sliding door hardware on two projects and it has been a pleasure working with them. They were very helpful in determining the appropriate hardware needed to support the loads and they provided accurate drawings, dimensions and clear instructions to the contractor regarding installation.”
