Operable walls have transformed from functional dividers into aesthetic enhancers of the built environment. 


On this recent project, we helped the architect balance the need for space flexibility with the desire for the look of a more "permanent" solution. Glass panels with false muntins offer the best of both worlds— the look of a fixed demountable system with the flexibility of operable wall systems.

We helped bring the design vision of RSP Architects (Minneapolis) and Dering Pierson Group (Rogers, MN) to life through the installation of Modernfold’s PureView™ Plus glass operable wall system with false muntins at UnitedHealth Group’s Optum campus.

Modernfold’s PureView Plus system offers an STC rating of 35, providing valuable sound control without compromising natural light or openness.


This balance enables easy reconfiguration of the space for meetings, focused work, or team collaboration while maintaining a clean and cohesive aesthetic.

By incorporating Modernfold’s PureView™ Plus glass wall system, the installation reinforces Optum’s commitment to a flexible, wellness-oriented workplace—one that fosters transparency, natural light, and collaboration without sacrificing acoustic privacy.

Our role in the construction of the Bloomington Parking Ramp involved supplying and installing the EFCO 5600E curtainwall system on the stair towers.  Construction during the winter months often brings unique challenges to a project. That's why close collaboration with our valued partners—Clow Berg Architects (Minneapolis) and Ancoats Construction Management (Minneapolis)—was essential to identifying potential issues early and navigating them successfully as a team.
