When you’re building a luxury home, every detail matters. The right features don’t just serve a purpose—they become part of the home’s design and help create an experience that stands apart.

That’s exactly what this 18′ x 10′ concealed-cylinder PowerLift hydraulic door does at The Bentley, a luxury estate home in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Built by Atlas Companies, The Bentley showcases modern architecture, high-end finishes, and unique features throughout. PowerLift Doors by Rick’s Welding, Inc. was proud to contribute to this impressive project with a custom hydraulic door designed to complement the home’s contemporary style.

More Than Just a Door

At first glance, the door looks like a beautiful wall of glass. The large glass panels and black framework blend naturally with the architecture of The Bentley, creating a clean, modern appearance.

But with the push of a button, the entire 18-foot-wide door lifts outward and overhead, completely transforming the space.

When open, the hydraulic door creates a large, unobstructed opening that connects the interior living and entertaining area with the outdoors. The raised door also extends outward from the building, creating a covered area that adds another dimension to the indoor-outdoor experience.

When closed, the glass allows natural light into the space while maintaining the sleek appearance of the home.

Clean Design With Concealed Cylinders

One of the standout features of this installation is PowerLift’s concealed-cylinder design.

For a high-end residential project like The Bentley, appearance is just as important as functionality. Concealing the hydraulic components helps maintain the clean architectural lines of the opening while still delivering the strength and reliability expected from a PowerLift hydraulic door.

The result is a door that doesn’t look like an afterthought. It becomes an architectural feature of the home.

Built for a Great Cause

The Bentley is an impressive home, but there’s an even bigger purpose behind the project. The home will benefit the Sioux Empire Home Builders Care Foundation, making it especially meaningful for everyone involved.

PowerLift Doors by Rick’s Welding, Inc. is proud to have played a part in a project that brings together local craftsmanship, innovative design, and support for the Sioux Empire community.

Make Your Home or Shop Stand Out

Hydraulic doors aren’t limited to aircraft hangars and large commercial buildings. As The Bentley demonstrates, a custom PowerLift door can become an incredible feature for a luxury home, entertainment space, garage, shop, barndominium, or other custom building.

Whether you want a dramatic glass wall that opens to the outdoors, a large unobstructed entrance for your shop, or simply something different from a traditional overhead door, a PowerLift hydraulic door offers opportunities to create something truly unique.
