Atelier ™ Collection Interior Doors

Premium architectural interior doors combining natural timber veneers, refined lacquer finishes and substantial engineered construction.

ZAUS Atelier™ Collection Interior Doors represent the premium material and craftsmanship tier within the ZAUS interior door range, developed for projects where the door itself forms an intentional part of the interior architecture.

Each door can be developed around the project drawings and interior design direction, allowing door proportions, natural timber veneers, lacquer colours, architectural detailing, internal construction, frames and hardware to be coordinated as one complete door system.

From understated flush timber doors through to detailed panelled designs, metallic inlays and refined solid-colour finishes, Atelier™ provides greater freedom in material expression and architectural detailing than conventional laminated or standard paint-finished interior doors.

Premium Architectural Door System

Atelier™ is designed for interiors where material quality, surface depth and detailing are central to the architectural character of the space.

The collection can incorporate:

• Natural timber veneer doors

• Solid-colour lacquer finishes

• Flush contemporary designs

• Shaker-inspired compositions

• Routed architectural detailing

• Shadow-line detailing

• Metallic material inlays

• Custom panel configurations

• Project-specific colours and finishes

• Custom door dimensions

Individual designs can be developed according to the surrounding architecture rather than requiring every project to select from a single predetermined visual format.

Natural Timber Veneer

Atelier™ doors can be finished using real natural timber veneers, allowing genuine grain, colour and material variation to become part of the finished door.

Natural veneer surfaces can be finished with grain-enhancing clear systems designed to retain and emphasise the visual character of the selected timber.

Depending on the project, veneer direction and composition can also become part of the door design.

Considerations can include:

• Timber species

• Grain character

• Grain direction

• Veneer layout

• Door proportions

• Adjacent joinery

• Flooring and wall finishes

• Architectural hardware

As a natural material, timber veneer will exhibit variation in grain, tone and visual character between individual pieces.

Solid-Colour Lacquer Finishes

Atelier™ can also be specified with premium factory-applied solid-colour lacquer finishes.

The finishing process incorporates multiple stages of surface preparation, primer application, controlled curing and finishing to produce a smooth and refined architectural surface.

Depending on the selected manufacturer-supported system, finishes can incorporate:

• Project-specific colours

• Matte finishes

• Satin finishes

• Selected architectural colour directions

• Coordinated door and frame finishes

Final colour and sheen should be confirmed against applicable physical samples before manufacture.

Multi-Layer Factory Finishing

The Atelier™ finishing system is intended to provide greater surface refinement and finish depth than conventional basic painted door systems.

Depending on the selected finish, the manufacturing process can incorporate:

• Substrate preparation

• Precision-applied primers

• Intermediate surface preparation

• Multiple finish layers

• Controlled curing

• Detailed polishing and finishing

The exact finishing process varies according to the selected veneer or lacquer system and should be confirmed against the applicable manufacturer specification.

Flush Contemporary Doors

Flush Atelier™ doors provide a restrained architectural expression where material and proportion take precedence over decorative detailing.

Natural timber veneer can allow the grain itself to become the principal visual feature, while solid-colour lacquer can create a quieter and more monolithic appearance.

These configurations are particularly suited to contemporary interiors where the door is intended to coordinate closely with surrounding joinery, wall finishes and architectural detailing.

Shaker & Framed Designs

Selected Atelier™ doors can incorporate framed and Shaker-inspired compositions where greater depth and traditional architectural reference are required.

Panel proportions can be selected according to the overall door dimensions and interior design direction, allowing the detailing to be adapted for contemporary, transitional or more classically influenced interiors.

The refined factory finish allows the panel detailing and surrounding surface to form part of one coordinated door composition.

Routed & Shadow-Line Detailing

Precision routing and shadow-line detailing can introduce depth and definition without requiring heavily decorative door profiles.

Depending on the selected design, detailing can include:

• Linear grooves

• Shadow lines

• Geometric routing

• Recessed detailing

• Custom panel divisions

• Minimal architectural patterns

These details can be developed in proportion to the individual door and coordinated with surrounding architectural lines.

Metallic Inlays

Selected Atelier™ designs can incorporate metallic material inlays as part of the door face.

Used selectively, these details can introduce fine lines of contrast within timber veneer or solid-colour surfaces without requiring conventional applied mouldings.

Inlay position, proportion, material and finish should be coordinated with the overall door design and surrounding architectural hardware before manufacture.

Custom Panel Configurations

Atelier™ allows the door face to be developed around project-specific panel proportions and detailing where supported by the selected manufacturing system.

This provides greater freedom to coordinate doors with:

• Wall panelling

• Joinery

• Ceiling proportions

• Interior mouldings

• Architectural grids

• Feature walls

• Adjacent openings

Rather than treating the door as an isolated product, its surface composition can therefore respond to the broader architectural language of the room.

Engineered Construction

Atelier™ doors combine moisture-resistant engineered face materials with a reinforced internal structure designed to provide a stable and consistent finished surface.

The underlying construction supports the premium veneer and lacquer finishes while allowing the internal door specification to be developed according to the requirements of the application.

For projects requiring greater weight, rigidity and substance, a denser internal construction can be selected.

Solid Timber Grille Core

Selected Atelier™ configurations can incorporate a solid sticks filling or solid timber grille core.

The dense interlocking timber structure is intended to provide:

• Greater door weight

• Increased structural rigidity

• Reduced vibration

• A more substantial operating feel

• Improved sound dampening compared with lighter internal constructions

This construction is particularly suited to applications where the physical weight and feel of the door are intended to complement the premium surface finish.

Where a specific acoustic rating is required, performance should be based on the applicable tested complete door assembly rather than the internal core alone.

Custom Sizing

Atelier™ doors can be manufactured around project-specific dimensions subject to the applicable manufacturing limitations and selected construction.

Custom sizing allows door proportions to respond to:

• Architectural drawings

• Door schedules

• Ceiling heights

• Oversized openings

• Feature-room proportions

• Wall panelling

• Adjacent joinery

• Frame requirements

• Hardware requirements

Final manufacturing dimensions are confirmed against the project door schedule before production.

Hinged Door Configurations

Atelier™ doors can be incorporated into conventional hinged interior-door systems.

The door leaf, frame, hinges, latch or lock preparation and architectural hardware can be coordinated together so the complete opening is considered during manufacture.

Hardware selection should account for the dimensions and weight of the selected door construction.

Sliding Door Configurations

Selected Atelier™ designs can also be incorporated into compatible internal sliding-door systems.

This allows the same veneer, lacquer and architectural detailing to continue across hinged and sliding openings where a consistent interior language is required.

Track, guide, handle and door preparation requirements should be coordinated with the selected sliding system before manufacture.

Frames, Linings & Trims

Atelier™ doors can be supplied as part of a coordinated ZAUS architectural interior-door package.

Depending on the project scope, this can include:

• Door frames

• Jambs

• Linings

• Architraves

• Trims

• Hinges

• Latches and locks

• Architectural hardware

Frames and surrounding components can be coordinated with the selected door finish where a more integrated architectural appearance is required.

Architectural Hardware

The substantial material character of Atelier™ doors can be coordinated with selected architectural hardware appropriate to the scale, weight and design of the door.

Depending on the project, this can include:

• Lever handles

• Pull handles

• Concealed or architectural hinges

• Latches and locks

• Sliding-door hardware

• Selected minimal hardware systems

Hardware finish, proportion and placement can be considered alongside the veneer, lacquer colour and architectural detailing rather than selected independently after the door has been manufactured.

Interior Material Coordination

Atelier™ doors can be considered alongside the broader interior material palette.

Door materials and finishes can be coordinated with:

• Custom joinery

• Timber flooring

• Wall panelling

• Cabinet fronts

• Stone

• Metal detailing

• Skirting and trims

• Architectural hardware

• Interior colour palettes

Where natural timber veneer is used across several architectural elements, grain character and finish direction can be considered together to establish a more consistent material language throughout the project.

Whole-of-Project Door Coordination

Atelier™ Collection Interior Doors can form part of the broader ZAUS architectural door and hardware package.

Custom Entry Doors • Linear™ Precision Interior Doors • Atelier™ Collection Interior Doors • Door Frames & Architraves • Architectural Door Hardware • Portal™ Intelligent Access • Project Door Packages

Different door systems can therefore be selected according to the importance, performance requirements and budget of individual spaces while remaining part of one coordinated project schedule.

For example, Atelier™ can be reserved for master suites, formal living spaces and feature rooms while Linear™ Precision Interior Doors are used across general internal areas.
