Wold Architects felt the need to feature elements in the newly remodeled and expanded cafeteria area of WBLHS. Since sailing has been popular on White Bear Lake for over a century, Wold decided to go with a sail theme for the elements. We felt Barrisol Trempo® would be an excellent solution due to its ability to be customized into any shape or design.

The Trempo® ceiling added depth and visual interest to the ceiling, making it a focal point within the space. We were delighted to help Wold create these one-of-a kind decorative elements, after all we are a "sails" organization!

We also installed Barrisol Blanc Venus membrane under several skylights in the second floor media center. The "lenses" help to defuse the natural daylight from the skylights above.

By Ira Hackner • June 30, 2025
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.

By Ira Hackner • April 9, 2025
Crowe Construction (St. Louis Park) contacted us about replacing the skylights at Artistry on 10th, a modern luxury apartment complex.
