Buffalo's largest mall and local to Birdair's headquarters, Birdair designed and built four areas of skylight canopies for the Walden Galleria Mall featuring a crossed arched design and a single layer of PTFE-Coated Fiberglass membrane. The fabric membrane skylights help protect the mall patrons below from any weather elements while bringing in plently of diffused natural light. At night, the fabric membrane is lit up from underneath creating a glowing roof from those passing by on the highway.
