Model Paxton

Joseph Paxton was an English architect who originally worked as a gardener with a strong focus on greenhouses. He gained widespread recognition for his design for the first World Exhibition in Hyde Park. Paxton’s designs defined modernity and progressiveness for England and laid the groundwork for today’s architectural thinking.

Combination of metal and glass elements

Paxton’s design for the World Exhibition was initially viewed as complex and technically challenging. However, after completing his glass-and-iron conservatory for the Duke’s estate in Derbyshire—his now-famous greenhouse—people were convinced. His exhibition design drew from earlier work with glass and steel, which, in the mid-19th century, posed significant engineering challenges.

Application of the Paxton steel door

Our Paxton model can be found in this beautiful home in Huizen, a prime example of how this steel door model can shine. By opting for double steel doors, the residents created a regal entrance. Combined with glazed herringbone tiles on the floor, this entryway makes a lasting impression and feels welcoming. The shapes and curves of the Paxton model are also reminiscent of Romanesque architecture, known for its semi-circular arches and pillars.
