return to As Built
In keeping with our goal of 75% of new material coming into the building coming from the US waste stream, most of our doors are repurposed. Here is a gallery of our various doors with a description of where we obtained them from.
Contents
Custom Entryway Doors
Ray Hanson of Antil Window and Door provided all of our wood-framed glass doors. Some were used for the interior and some for the exterior. Woody Melcher of Woodbury Associates did the design. The exterior front door matches the original 1920 door when the building was a Model T showroom.
The 2 outside entry doors are made from fallen black walnut harvested by Lon Ullman, who is part of an urban forestry group in the metro Detroit area. The doors form a unique design, with 2 pieces of wood surrounding a piece of cork to provide a thermal break. The glass is new, as it has to be compliant with code requiring tempered (shard-proof) glass. The doors were also installed with historic closers bought from Fred's Key Shop and reconditioned.
Front interior door
Greenhouse doors
3 season room doors

Bathroom and Shower Doors
Ken Byzcinski (who did our insulation) reclaimed these doors from a school that was being remodeled. We painted them black and used them for the rest rooms and the shower.
Women's restroom door
Mens and Women's room doors
Annex bathroom door
Office Doors
We found these doors at Senate Antiques in Detroit, a home for all kinds of used materials. Address: 828 W Fisher Fwy, Detroit, MI. Phone: (313) 963-5252.

Door to meeting room 2
Door to meeting room 3

Conference room door
Solid Exterior Doors
We have 4 Therma-Tru exterior doors that came from Fingerle Lumber in Ann Arbor. They have a fiberglass skin and an insulation core. We picked them for longevity, weather resistance, and for the fact that fiberglass provides a better thermal barrier than steel.
Back exterior door
Specialty Doors
Some specialty doors. The insulated garage door was selected for its R value. It's a double-thickness door and comes from McKernan Inc in Roseville.
Door to the right came from St. Charles School in Detroit
Church doors from Ann Arbor provide the separation between the main building and the annex. They were found on Craigslist.
The door to our closet is originally from the office of Sam "The Chief" Kanners of Kanners and Patrize.
Insulated garage door
Original Door
We left one door in its original location in the building, the door to the basement. We gave it a coat of paint and it was good to go.
Basement door.
