door is more

door is more by archipleasure yt from usa

designer's own words:

the handle has made the door’s existence apparent and expected. now, the door is approached as merely a means of travelling from one space to another.
but the door is more; architecturally speaking, it is a spacial boundary and a unique part of the wall that we open/close, peek/travel through, knock, and await.
how can the handle be more architecturally significant, whilst keeping its original integrity and purpose?
