Construction Period 04/2012 - 10/2012
The old family wooden barn had not been used for a long time and could
not be used again due to its old age. The ground floor, however, consists
of good, thick, well-preserved stone walls with deep foundations.
The
owner’s idea was to remodel the old barn into a residential property
using the ground floor, keeping the wooden design.
After the old
wooden barn structure was removed, the remaining walls were measured
in detail and inspected for flaws.
The concept of the new building
was developed
according to the owner’s wishes
in SCIA Engineer
with Structure-, 3D-Free-Modelling- and Drawing tools, with all details
presented and confirmed directly in the 3D-model.The calculations were
processed in SCIA Engineer according to 2nd order theory. The results
of the calculations provided feedback about any improvements required
to the ground floor parts and possible optimization of the new structure.
The production company was included in the planning process at the early
stage too, so the execution has run without problems.
All the overviews,
elevation, execution and detail drawings were processed and created
in SCIA Engineer with appropriate modelling and drawing tools
.
Production and execution of the building has been done by the company
Wissing in Kapellen with casual engineering supervision. Any required
improvements and the preparation of the ground floor structure were
agreed with the owner.
