Ideas - ADAS

What is ADAS Ideas?

Our IDEAS approach is a design philosophy that integrates environmental simulation, computational modelling, structural analysis, form finding, system integration knowhow to optimise performance, material efficiency, and constructability before fabrication begins.

This enables our clients to make key design decisions that have strong impacts on the resulting performance, budget and construction timeline of each project.

Environmental Simulation

Environmental Simulation

THERMAL COMFORT | WIND-DRIVEN RAIN | OPTICAL PERFORMANCE

As experts in semi-outdoor shading and facade solutions, ADAS offers environmental simulation services to evaluate the performance of each structure’s unique geometry within its design context at the concept development stage.

Our consultancy services in this area enable our clients to identify and mitigate operational issues related to excess heat and rain ingress before construction, reducing unnecessary alteration costs later in the project’s operational life.

Design

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT | DETAILING | MATERIAL SELECTION

ADAS integrates architectural intent with engineering logic to develop structurally efficient and visually distinctive solutions utilising lightweight structural systems and materials, such as tensile fabrics and ETFE.

Our design methodology focuses on form-finding, parametric modelling, and constructability-driven design. We collaborate closely with architects, consultants, and developers to translate conceptual ideas into buildable structural systems that balance aesthetics, performance, and cost efficiency.

Our design services include:

Engineering

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS | INTERNATIONAL CODE COMPLIANCE

ADAS provides comprehensive structural engineering services for lightweight and long-span systems, either as a stand-alone service or as part of Design & Build contracts.

Our engineering scope includes structural schemes, connection design, installation sequencing and engineering documentation for fabrication and construction. We optimise structural systems through iterative refinement, ensuring efficient load transfer, stability, and durability.

By integrating digital modelling with practical construction knowledge, ADAS delivers engineering solutions that are robust, optimised, and aligned with real-world site conditions.
