Miller Hull

Partner Brian Court and principal Cory Mattheis will be leading a session about “Adaptable Structures: Hybrid Steel and Timber Construction” at the annual NASAAC Steel Conference.

Miller Hull’s legacy of environmentally responsible design guides us to consider the optimal use of each material in our buildings. This approach often leads us to hybrid structures that exploit the inherent benefits of steel and timber working in partnership. Steel provides the ideal structural armature for efficient and rational bays, while infill systems in timber provide highly adaptable enclosures. By decoupling the primary structure and the thermal enclosure, buildings can become agile systems capable of  adapting to changing user needs and configurations. Through case studies across different building types and scales, this talk will highlight Miller Hull’s unique approach to hybrid structural systems and explore ideas of adaptability, design for disassembly, and material reuse.
