68 Category 1: Buildings 1 Remodelling of the Old Barn in Residential Building - Kapellen, Germany SE Owner Fam. Cuntz, Kapellen Architect Roemhild + Hecker Landau General Contractor Wissing GmbH Kapellen Engineering Office Ryklin STATIK 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.
