The custom hybrid structural ridge and pyramid skylight system was engineered and fabricated specifically for this project.
Challenge
- Convert a 1930s aircraft hangar turned car dealership and nearby automotive service station into a luxury retail furniture showroom for Arhaus Furniture’s Roslyn, New York, sales campus.
- Transform and connect the disparate structures by creating a truly unique skylight that matched the architect’s requirements for the historic building without the advantage of previously engineered templates.
Solution
RDL Architects worked closely with VELUX Commercial sales representatives, project management team, and engineering team. Together, they were able to design, engineer, build and install a custom 64' x 10' roofing system that includes a special extended pyramid skylight straddling a structural ridge skylight.
