Overview

The central atrium of the 800 Yates Street office building features a 7,000 sq. ft. glass skylight supported by a series of 60-foot-long custom lenticular timber roof trusses. We call the concept "SpaceLam". The visual transparency of this unusual configuration provides a lightness and unique aesthetic to the overall roof structure.
