Lindwurm Museum, Stein am Rhein

Parts of the Lindwurm Museum in Stein am Rhein date back to the 13th century. Over the centuries, people have lived, worked, adapted and rebuilt here. Rooms have changed function, structures have been added, details overlaid. The current state is the result of many generations - not a single plan.

It is precisely this evolved reality that makes such buildings challenging. Old plans are often incomplete, contradictory or no longer exist. Any future use, renovation or structural development therefore first requires clarity.

From here, we create a reliable basis on which planning can be securely built.

We have precisely recorded the building using laser scanning and derived clean, comprehensible 2D plans from this: Floor plans, sections and façades that show the existing building as it actually is - including its peculiarities and irregularities.

These plans are not an interpretation or an ideal state; they are an honest inventory and form the basis for well-founded decisions when dealing with historic buildings.

Projects like this show time and again how important precise building surveys are in existing buildings - especially where history, use and the future meet.
