Historic Hot Rolled

Dilworth Craftsman Renovation

Dilworth, Charlotte · 2023

The Challenge

Blending 1920s craftsman architecture with modern steel door aesthetics while preserving the home's original character. The architect wanted contemporary glass-forward design that wouldn't betray the home's heritage.

Sightline's Solution

Designed a custom hot rolled profile that referenced the home's original mullion proportions while delivering a thinner, more glass-forward presence. Worked alongside the project architect from schematic through CDs and provided the contractor with a complete install package.

The Results

The new entry reads as if it had always been there — a feat the architect attributes to careful proportion study and material restraint. The project was published in two regional design outlets.

"Sightline understood the assignment. The doors honor the house and elevate it at the same time."
