The Ghermezian family (MOA's owners) and Triple Five Corporation (the family's real estate development and construction company) were looking to install a new daylighting skylight system on the west section to replace the small 8' x 8' acrylic skylights to enhance and brighten the MOA visitor's experience by allowing natural light deep into spaces.

We always enjoy discussing projects with architects and contractors and were pleased teaming up with the DLR Group (Minneapolis, MN | Architect) and Mortenson (Golden Valley, MN | Contractor) to install an aesthetically pleasing custom Super Sky 450’ continuous glass vault skylight to add much needed daylight to the space.

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.

Due to our "challenging" winter weather conditions, building maintenance professionals frequently schedule glass atrium and curtainwall repair initiatives when spring arrives.

Crowe Construction (St. Louis Park) contacted us about replacing the skylights at Artistry on 10th, a modern luxury apartment complex. The existing skylights were extremely leaky, aesthetically unappealing, had poor opacity, and failed to meet current-day structural requirements. They allowed minimal natural light to enter the space, provided little comfort or functionality, and were energy inefficient.
