Why are Kalwall translucent panels and skylights such a common feature in so many public works projects across Minnesota?
Over the years, we have been fortunate enough to work with many architectural firms and general contractors on a number of award winning, public works projects. We are often asked why Kalwall is so uniquely suited for the challenges of these types of projects.
Here are just a few reasons:
The Benefits of Kalwall Daylighting Workspaces:
๏ปฟ
- Enhanced Mood and Well-Being: Exposure to natural light can boost mood and reduce stress and fatigue.
- Increased Productivity: Studies indicate that employees working in well-lit environments are more productive, focused, and alert.
- Better Health: Natural light helps regulate circadian rhythms, improving sleep quality. Better sleep contributes to overall health and reduces absenteeism.
- Reduced Eye Strain: Natural light is easier on the eyes than artificial lighting, lowering the risk of eye strain and discomfort.
- Improved Creativity: Access to daylight can stimulate creativity and innovation by fostering a more inspiring work environment.
- Energy Efficiency: Utilizing natural light reduces the need for artificial lighting, leading to lower energy costs and a smaller carbon footprint.
- Attracting Talent: Workspaces with abundant natural light are more appealing to potential employees, helping companies attract and retain top talent.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Natural light can make spaces feel larger and more welcoming, improving the overall ambience of the workspace.
- Social Interaction: Daylit open areas can encourage collaboration and interaction among employees, fostering a sense of community in the workplace.
- Integration with Other Systems: Kalwall can be integrated with other building systems, such as HVAC and lighting controls, to optimize energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
- Overall Satisfaction: Employees working in environments with ample natural light often report higher job satisfaction and engagement levels.

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.
Through a strategic collaboration with ESG Architecture (Minneapolis) and Kraus-Anderson Construction (Minneapolis), we provided the exterior glazing on The Larking—a landmark 16-story development redefining urban residential spaces in Minneapolis.
The owner of Vadnais Heights Commons reached out to us to address issues with their existing glass skylights, which were failing structurally, causing excessive heat buildup, and experiencing persistent leaks.
OK, we admit it's not exactly an Oscar. When Accenture needed a smartly designed space that allowed natural light to flow through while ensuring the right level of visual and acoustic privacy they turned to Modernfold.
We're excited to share the results of two, recent commercial skylight projects in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. Our innovative skylight systems help enhance natural light, boost energy efficiency, and create brighter, more comfortable spaces for occupants.
