The VertiStack Avante: A Sectional Garage Door That Stacks Overhead
Standard garage doors all have the same issue: Once opened, they cover the ceiling. That means you must be judicious about where you place things like storage hooks, lighting or ceiling fans.
In contrast, this VertiStack Avante design, by garage door manufacturer Clopay, takes up very little overhead space. Instead of sliding along your ceiling in a single piece, like a tambour door, this one stacks into discrete components.
It's admittedly a long way to go, but engineers gonna engineer.

The great thing about this is that it's pretty easy to figure out how to do this 100% mechanically. Panels attached together with pinned links that slide up the sides of the panels as they raise and stack(? is a horizontal "stack" still a stack), raised by gearing that engages with each panel, and a slot at the top that catches the outer pin of the links to slide backwards into the stack with the panels placed via a Geneva drive or something similar.
