by Brianna Crandall — June 6, 2014—Custom prefabricated interiors provider DIRTT Environmental Solutions announced on June 3 that it is unveiling its new Enzo Approach at the company’s annual DIRTT Chicago show, June 9-11. Enzo is engineered to deliver an elegant aesthetic and robust performance that not only provides a sense of permanence in a modular environment, but also provides more flexibility, options and sustainability for commercial, institutional, residential and other spaces.

“Modular interiors have historically looked impermanent or temporary because of how they were designed and built,” says DIRTT President Scott Jenkins. “Enzo is a profoundly different approach that builds on the core DIRTT framework and provides a significantly greater increase in design freedom.”

DIRTT explains that Enzo is fundamentally a change in perspective; it is a committed focus on redefining rapid construction through modular techniques. Any detail that communicates modularity has been replaced with those that convey permanence. Aesthetically, Enzo provides a series of refined details; slim reveals that would be impossible in a conventional world and had reportedly never been achieved in the modular world; and opportunities for composition and application that the company claims have never before been possible.

DIRTT says that Enzo has destroyed any sense of impermanence and truly takes on conventional construction head-on. With Enzo, DIRTT is able to achieve virtually any aesthetic and satisfy any application need, as an extension of the existing family of DIRTT solutions.

DIRTT Environmental Solutions (Doing It Right This Time) uses its proprietary three-dimensional (3D) software to design, manufacture and install fully customized prefabricated interiors. The company’s customers in the corporate, government, education and healthcare sectors are said to benefit from DIRTT’s precise design and costing; rapid lead times with the highest levels of customization and flexibility; and faster, cleaner construction. DIRTT manufacturing facilities are in Phoenix, Savannah, Kelowna and Calgary, and the company’s teams support more than 100 Distribution Partners throughout North America, the Middle East and Asia.
