ADA Maneuvering Space, Peter Zellner, Matthew Marks

haruki

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.

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. 

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.
