Anybody ever try a "dutch" door?

[Werdahekrwe]

Currently working on plans for a new "TTT", with about 6-6x12 floor plan with with closed height about 6-8 max, to be garageable. Due to DW's health I really need to have a door at least 5 to 5-6 high. Anybody ever try or hear of using a "dutch" two piece door. Looking at "Compact III" for a lot construction ideas. Will use a full lift-up top with solid walls. DW says tilted roof idea would feel claustrophobic, even with white interior, especially since we are downsizing from a 29 foot full size, since we now no longer have a big (As in Chevy Siverado, which was wiped out in a wreck) and she has some medical problems that something smaller I think will work better with. No pics or plans yet, still working with pencil cad . Gonna use some bright colors,(bright glossy yellow for the upper body, glossy gray mid stripe, glossy burgundy lower body -the colors of the taxie cabs he drove for 38yrs (yep THIRTY EIGHT years in Charleston, WV). And a cute painted emblem (Dad's nick name was "DUCKY") in bib overalls, using a long handled hammer as a cane) on the nose to honor both our dads - a construction carpenter duck. Oh, and I am NOT some young hippie type. NOT at 70yrs plus. And as I said in my intro - all "constructive" criticism welcome.

Steve Cox did an actual Dutch door in his gypsy standy:

However, what is probably more to your needs would be something like the Winter Warrior Ladybug that Starleen2 (Scott) built:
You can see Scott's hinged two part door in his build thread. Scroll down to the very bottom of the screen on the page (page eight)that this takes you to:

If you haven't already done so, take a gander at some of the trailers with lifting roofs that other forum members have successfully built or are building.
A list of those can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=50969
