Existing Model: Residential House & Barn | Zollikerberg, ZH

This project impressively demonstrates why planning for existing buildings using 3D as-built modeling offers real added value for architects.

The building on Zollikerberg is a true gem—a blend of varied materials and architectural styles that reflect its diverse uses.

While the front of the building is clearly recognizable as a residential home, the rear section, with its former stable, still clearly evokes its past agricultural use.

With its steep gable roof and wood paneling, the house exudes a rustic, warm character. The combination of stucco and wood in the facade also gives it a strong regional connection and underscores its artisanal construction.

Modernizing a building like this is a challenge—but that is precisely what defines the character of this house. By creating a precise 3D scan of the existing structure, we can meet the project’s diverse requirements and provide architects with a solid foundation for planning. This makes the planning process not only more efficient but also more creative and precise.
