Livefront's Hospitality Lounge | Where Transparency, Acoustics & Flexibility Align

Livefront's Hospitality Lounge | Where Transparency, Acoustics & Flexibility Align w l hall company 10
In collaboration with Studio BV Architects (Minneapolis) and Mission Construction (Minneapolis), we helped bring their design goals to life for Livefront’s Hospitality Lounge — realizing a vision centered on innovation, flexibility, and modern collaboration.

This project brings together two W. L. Hall Company manufacturing partners — Modernfold and Syntegra — into one cohesive architectural solution. Backed by 75 years of experience, our design-assist approach and technical expertise allow us to tailor each system to meet the project’s aesthetic goals, performance requirements, and life-safety standards.


Our value extends beyond product selection. Through early collaboration, precise detailing, and careful code and constructability coordination, we help ensure every solution — whether a single system or an integrated assembly — supports the design vision while delivering long-term performance and reliability.

A unified architectural solution where flexibility and performance work seamlessly together through thoughtful integration.


For Livefront’s Hospitality Lounge, the Modernfold PureView Plus operable glass wall system was specified in a satin jet-black powder-coated finish to complement the refined interior palette. Laminated clear glass panels with 1-inch field-applied muntins establish architectural rhythm while preserving transparency and daylight flow.


The result is more than a partition — it’s a dynamic architectural element designed to support how the space truly functions.

Performance Meets Flexibility


Acoustic Confidence — STC 37

With an STC rating of 37, the single-panel configuration provides effective speech privacy and sound separation. Open collaboration can instantly transition to focused, acoustically controlled environments — without sacrificing visual connection.


Daylighting & Transparency

Expansive glass panels maintain clean sight lines and maximize natural light, reinforcing openness while supporting productivity and well-being.


Effortless Reconfiguration

The single-panel operable system allows the environment to shift quickly between open zones and enclosed meeting areas — eliminating the need for permanent walls or disruptive renovations.


Architectural Customization

From custom muntin detailing to coordinated powder-coated finishes, the system was tailored to Studio BV’s and Mission's design vision — proving that high-performance systems can also define a space's aesthetic.


Seamless Integrated Access

A Syntegra integrated egress panic device door — finished to match the operable wall — preserves the clean visual lines while providing a safe, code-compliant emergency exit and convenient daily access, all without compromising acoustics or design continuity.


The Syntegra system was chosen for its seamless integration with the operable glass wall and for enabling the Syntegra door to be independently locked (lockset) while preserving compliant egress functionality—an advantage not typically achievable with most door options within operable partitions.
