Architectural Systems
The benefit of designing architectural features with Novum Systems relates to three principles which drive construction - Design, Time, and Price.
Systems that Work Together
Virtually every Novum project adopts a blend of our systems with custom elements. It is common to use several systems in a single architectural application. This approach brings all the benefits of expertise and repetition.
Architecturally Exposed Steel
Precise architectural steel is systemized, factory-fabricated and finished, delivered, and then mechanically fastened on-site with nominal welding.
Point Supported Glass
This system is historically the most popular choice and our most versatile structural glazing system.
Tension Rod
Excellent for lightweight bracing, this system is often used in suspended walls, tension trusses, and as a bracing element for fins/trusses, beams, and canopy hangers. It provides a clean and classic technology aesthetic to architectural design.
Linear Supported Glass
This system is typically used where a demand for close coupled glass to structure occurs or when code or client requires a secondary back up to the silicone glass joint.
Architecturally Exposed Steel
Precise architectural steel is systemized, factory-fabricated and finished,
delivered, and then mechanically fastened on-site with nominal welding.
Beam to Beam
A system specifically developed to make elegant mechanical beam connections. This system typically features hollow profiles as continuous primary beams with secondary infill members.
Air Filled Pillow
ETFE material allows light to migrate along its surface. Plants thrive below ETFE due to its thermal properties and the system is designed with recycling and corrosion resistance in mind.
Architecturally Exposed Steel
Precise architectural steel is systemized, factory-fabricated and finished,
delivered, and then mechanically fastened on-site with nominal welding.
Block Knoten
Block Knoten tubes are used in single and double layer spaceframe applications and are the preferred choice where geometries are close to orthogonal to keep nodes compact.
Linear Supported Glass
This system is typically used where a demand for close coupled glass to structure occurs or when code or client requires a secondary back up to the silicone glass joint.

Edge Clamped Glass
The ECG-System is when the glass is mechanically clamped at discreet points along its edges to meet strength and deflection needs, and typically requires no notching or drilling. Panels can be oriented vertically, sloped, or overhead, and can be of almost any shape.

Tension Cable
Architectural cables provide clean minimalist technology via ultralight structure.

Free Form
Novum’s Free Form System is comprised of cylindrical split nodes and tubular beams with cast end adaptors. The tapered adaptors allow compact node sizes and stepping enables significant vertical angle changes. The split node provides for economy by its lightness and flexibility for other trades such as lighting and maintenance attachments.
