We propose an adaptive isogeometric method for the numerical approximation of (high order) partial differential equations defined on multi-patch surfaces. By focusing on $C^1$ hierarchical spline constructions, we will present a refinement algorithm with linear complexity which guarantees the construction of suitably graded hierarchical meshes that fulfill the condition for linear independence of the hierarchical basis. A selection of numerical examples will confirm the potential of the adaptive scheme on different multipatch configurations.
