Light + Air Door

If you are going to live without air conditioning, cross-ventilation helps a lot. Pre-AC, people had transom windows over their doors; this door has a series of holes that are opened and closed with a sliding knob, allowing air and light to pass through as desired but still allowing some privacy. The perforations remind us of Jean Prouve's Tropical house. Lovely. Designed by ::Seven O2 via ::Yanko Design
