Architect presents sliding historic-door solution with full-glass doors for main opening

An applicant-presenter showed renderings that preserve the building's historic hinged doors by placing them on an exterior rail so they can slide to the side and sit behind new full-width glass doors and sidelights. Todd (speaker 6), who identified himself during the presentation, described the proposal as keeping "the historic doors there as sort of a thing" while using glazed doors to create the building envelope. He told the board the clear opening measures "8 feet, basically," and demonstrated a solution in which the historic doors slide fully to the right so they do not bisect the building's vertical plane.
