In the world of modern architecture, an entrance is the first impression, the grand reveal, the transition between the outside world and an exclusive space. It defines the experience from the very first step.

Boon Edam, with over 150 years of expertise in architectural entrance solutions, has redefined the revolving door with the Crystal Tourniket, an architectural statement that merges elegance with innovation, offering a seamless and secure welcome into luxury hotels, corporate headquarters, and iconic retail spaces.

At the entrance of a luxury hotel, guests step into an environment designed for effortless hospitality. The Crystal Tourniket’s fully transparent structure, developed by Boon Edam’s team of engineers and designers, offers an uninterrupted view of the grand lobby, its seamless glass panels creating an almost weightless impression. With automatic, touch-free operation, guests glide through effortlessly, welcomed by a space that feels both open and secure.

In a flagship retail store, where brand identity is paramount, the entrance is designed to reflect the store’s aesthetic. Understanding the importance of customization, Boon Edam offers various glass options, from clear to tinted or frosted, allowing brands to create a curated entry experience.

Corporate headquarters and high-security office buildings require more than just a striking entrance; they need intelligent security solutions. Developed with a focus on precision engineering and safety, the Crystal Tourniket integrates advanced safety sensors, block detection, and emergency stop functions, ensuring that access remains secure without disrupting its sleek design. Whether operating in manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic modes, it adapts to the flow of employees and visitors while maintaining efficiency and controlled access.

Beyond aesthetics and security, sustainability is at the core of its design. Boon Edam, a pioneer in energy-efficient entrance solutions, has worked closely with the University of Delft to develop specialized software that calculates the energy savings achieved by revolving doors. The Crystal Tourniket minimizes air exchange, preventing drafts, and significantly reduces energy loss compared to swinging or sliding doors, reinforcing its role in sustainable architecture.

For architects and developers who seek a balance of form and function, the Crystal Tourniket is the result of decades of expertise, research, and engineering by Boon Edam. Available in three or four-wing configurations, with options for emergency escape functionality, night locking, and access control integration, it is designed to seamlessly fit into any project, from cultural landmarks to high-end commercial spaces.

Whether it stands as a bold centrepiece in a grand entrance or subtly integrated into a minimalist architectural vision, the Crystal Tourniket is a testament to Boon Edam’s legacy of innovation, craftsmanship, and intelligent design.
