An Impressive Entrance
The Synua Wall System by Oikos offers modularity and style
The Synua Wall System (SWS) by Oikos merges high-performance security with impeccable visual continuity to redefine how doors and walls coexist in contemporary architecture. Building on the iconic design of the brand’s Synua door, the system leverages the door’s perfect coplanarity, where the door sits flush with the surrounding wall to create modular, customisable wall installations that are both dramatic and unified in appearance. These architectural compositions are made up of independent sectors, each of which can be clad in a variety of finishes, offering designers and architects unparalleled freedom of expression.
The featured installation includes a double-leaf Synua door with a net opening of 2880 x 3935 mm, installed flush with the external wall for a streamlined effect. The external cladding features Oxided Yellow Grey Skydoors, while the interior face is finished in Oxided Yellow Grey aluminium, offering a refined contrast of textures and tones. The door operates with motorised Arckey lock technology, ensuring effortless access control and state-of-the-art security. Engineered for both beauty and resilience, the SWS is suitable for exterior use, making it ideal for luxury residences, commercial flagships or high-end hospitality spaces that demand both architectural drama and uncompromising safety.
