Catholic Church, Kirchdorf

Churches are rarely rethought - they are rebuilt with the utmost care. The aim is to preserve the character, spatial effect and history - with as few interventions as possible.

This is precisely why a precise basis is needed.

For the church in Kirchdorf, we used laser scanning to fully record the existing structure and created a deformation-compliant 3D as-built model from point cloud data.

The building is not idealized, but depicted as it actually is:

• Vaults and geometries with real deviations
• Structures that have grown over decades
• complex, non-rectangular rooms

This accuracy is crucial, as new elements have to fit exactly into the existing structure during sensitive renovations.

The 3D model creates a clear planning basis for this: precise, reliable and directly processable.

This turns a complex existing building into a secure basis for the next step.
