Anti-Pocket Door Submitted by: Name not provided Designer's Description: Purchasing a vintage rehabbed condo has its drawbacks when the space is not fully functional. A small Chicago urban setting, small condominiums cannot afford any inefficiency in the little things, like a door swing. A traditional pocket door is not feasible due to the plumbing chase in the location where the pocket would be housed. The bathroom door swing's reversal is not ideal due to the proximity of the entry door's swing. The only viable solution is an externally mounted sliding door.

Their wall ovens have the option of a SideOpening door, a feature that provides better access to the oven cavity.

Coming this fall, the new Bosch 24" kitchen appliances work particularly well in urban lofts and other small living situations, like guest suites. The new line, which includes gas and electric cooktops, will join their already-launched glass door refrigerator and laundry pairs.
