Outdoor Comfort, Engineered.

The Adaptive Envelope is more than a structure — it’s a design philosophy.
It brings together retractable roofs, convertible walls, integrated lighting, and airflow systems into a single architectural solution that adapts to climate, season, and setting. 

What Is an Adaptive Envelope?

✔ A retractable or convertible roof system
✔ Optional vertical glass walls, screens, or pony walls
✔ Climate-responsive features: airflow, shade, lighting, drainage
✔ Designed to open, close, or adjust based on user comfort
✔ Seamlessly integrated into building architecture or freestanding
✔ Modular — sized for courtyards, rooftops, patios, or poolside 

Think of it as a room without four walls — or a structure that disappears when you want the sky.

A Category Elevated

While Adaptive Envelopes are the category, Couture Envelope™ is our proprietary, premium series — refined for luxury, resort, and architectural-grade applications. 

 

Couture Envelope™ includes:

  • Retractable roof systems (Skyroof Prestige, Plus, Silver)
     
  • Motorized vertical stack glass or sliding glass walls
     
  • Custom pony walls (Aluwall) with integrated lighting + climate options
     
  • Concealed drainage and smart wiring integration
     
  • Built with elegance, engineered for permanence

It’s comfort without compromise.
