Does anyone know how Peter Zellner got away with not having any maneuvering space at the front entry door approach at the Matthew Marks Gallery in Los Angeles?
I was thinking maybe the door isn't equipped with a closer but would that help with the door swinging out toward the approach?
I'd love to do something similar on a current project if I can figure out how to get it through ADA plan check.
Option B: Automatic opener would work, but wouldn't really fit the aesthetic of the space. They're pretty big and clunky. And they're not about to have a big button slapped on the side of that building.
Is it a front entry? Space is so small that a single exit building could be used. With that said, the other door could be argued is the entry to the building which would comply with the push/pull clearance. The door in question could still be used as an exit, being recessed and not encroaching into a path, but does not necessarily have to be.

There is a second door to this space which at first glance appears to be ADA compliant.
Option A: other door is the main entrance.
