Circular Aircraft Hangar

How many planes fit out a 45'x14" bifold door?

As many as you want, one at a time?

Really, what is the question? One of wingspan? Most any single, twin of 6
seats or less, except sailplanes, would be my estimation, upon looking at
some typical specs.

Read the typo on the print, it has the door as 14 inches tall...
So many will fit width wise, none height wise...

A google for "carousel hangar" returned lots of hits including this one

There is one in use at the airport in Ann Arbor Michigan. IFIRR it has 8
or 10 sides making it somewhat dome-like and has one bifold door. There
is a large turntable inside which allows the whole building to be filled
and any plane removed without bothering the others.

I remember seeing some time back a hangar design that used a circular
dome style building. It showed GA airplanes all backed in and seemed
like it used the space well. A Google search on round, circular, and
dome aircraft hangars did not lead me to the hangar that I was looking
for.

Anyone remember seeing something like this?

Perhaps this is the web site you are thinking of. Formed in place
over inflatable "baloon" concrete domes
