The final frontier


SPACE... is not infinite in a usonian. It is at a premium, which is why our kitchen cabinets have no raised decorative molding, there is no molding on the floors or ceilings, just trim around the windows and doors.

Thom's crew was presented with a problem. How to make the access doors to the radiant heat tubes accessible, and yet not burdened with clumsy, instrusive hinges and latches. They decided to use spring load magnets so that the door will just snap into place and a sharp pop with the knuckles release them again.
