In developing Adapt, we reflected on the enduring usage in construction of “brick” and “stick.”  A considerable amount of the appeal of these systems is their versatility and ability to be field-modified to almost any shape.  Architects and builders can take “brick” and “stick” to create and shape buildings to fit a site, a community, or the people who will dwell within; but not without a considerable amount of labor and expense.

It is here that manufacturing can move the future of building “out of the box,” and improve the building process itself while retaining the design flexibility inherent with more traditional methods.  The Adapt system fits the bill on both of these counts.  It is a frame and panel building system consisting of standardized components, where both the frame and panel can be regionally stocked and field modified to create almost any shape of building.

The frame can be built structurally in three dimensions by making simple cuts on glulam timbers and the steel columns can be sized with a metal saw in the field (no field welding).  The building frame simply bolts and screws together.

The structural insulated panels (SIPs) are sized for ease of stocking, handling and availability of pre-finished surfaces.  SIPs are easily field-cut or may come precut from the factory with openings for windows and doors.

We invite you to put the Adapt system to the test.  Whether you’re working with traditional shapes that pay tribute to the beauty of the past or futuristic shapes from a bold tomorrow; we hope you find it a long-needed step forward in building greener, safer, and smarter.
