Case study / Survey to BIM
Casa del Forno
Reconstructing adjoining rooms, thick masonry and a building organised on several levels.
Reconstruction · Work in progress
The reconstruction remains in progress.
Current public snapshots are presented on the Skill BIM overview, keeping existing and proposed states separate. Dedicated house and unit views and technical deliverables retain their own reviews and releases. This page does not declare the survey complete.

From evidence to understanding.
Passages and blind recesses need different interpretations. Local height checks and opposing surfaces help reconstruct the rooms without flattening the building into a regular box.
03 / The next design package
From understanding to designing.
Existing renovation studies cover replacement floors and roof work. They will be reconciled with the measured building before becoming native IFC design objects, including the connections to outdoor spaces.
Design starts when the existing-building information is sufficiently reviewed for that scope. Regular new elements will use native CAD representations; irregular retained stone can preserve survey geometry.
Planned structural study
Floors and roofs together
Earlier studies describe ground-bearing floors, suspended floors over other rooms and roof interventions. The planned structural work will connect each proposal to the surveyed spaces and compare supports, openings and connections. Previous member sizes and quantities will be reassessed before they enter a coordinated design and cost plan.
- Structural systems coordination
- Frames and connections
- Roof structure and construction
- Floors and slabs
- Changes to doors and windows
Designed for the long term
For both houses, the brief includes water protection that remains effective without electrical power, inspectable details and replaceable components. Solutions will be assessed for initial cost, maintenance and renewal. This is a design objective to demonstrate, not a guaranteed lifespan.
