For the RiverCentre Kalwall skylight project, we had the pleasure of collaborating with RSI Group Architecture (St. Paul) and Berwald Roofing Contractors (St. Paul) to bring an aging skylight installation back to life.

Large volume spaces present a significant design challenge. How do you make them feel warm and inviting instead of cold and cavernous? One of the best ways to do that is to incorporate natural daylight into the space. Kalwall allows a design profession to do that easily and it has the following advantages of other construction materials.


Unparalleled Diffused Daylighting

Kalwall offers shadow-free daylighting by scattering natural light evenly across large spaces with minimal glare.


Superior Thermal Performance

Kalwall helps maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature without the need for excessive heating or cooling.


Extreme Durability and Impact Resistance

Kalwall panels are engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, a significant advantage in high-volume spaces where structural resilience is essential for occupant safety and long-term maintenance savings.


Sustainable, Low-Maintenance Design

Kalwall’s recyclable materials and minimal upkeep contribute to a lower carbon footprint.

Aesthetic Flexibility with Customizable Design Options


Flexibility allows designers to create signature looks without compromising on functionality. Multiple face sheet colors, grid patterns, insulation colors and panel layout options mean that any architect can design a one-of-a-kind, signature daylighting solution for their unique project.

When Form Follows Functionality | Radius curved track makes operation a snap!

By Ira Hackner • April 23, 2026
In collaboration with Alliiance Architects (Minneapolis) and Sheehy Construction (St. Paul), our team helped bring their meeting room renovation design at the Minneapolis Convention Center to life—delivering Modernfold Acousti-Seal Encore® operable wall systems (STC 54) designed for flexibility, performance, and long-term durability. When most design professionals start thinking about using an operable wall system, they usually focus on the panel. That makes sense as panel type, STC levels, and finishes are important. What about the track? After all, unless the system is motorized, those panels aren't going to move themselves! Some of the panels on this project weigh almost 800 lbs.! By using radius curved track, Modernfold was able to design a wall and track system that will provide easy operation for years to come.
