The challenge: adopting and implementing the design concept
As the company carrying out the work, our challenge was to take this concept and develop it in such a way that it could be implemented in terms of design, planning and technology, while also staying within the planned budget.
The time frame also proved to be a difficulty, as 4 new wellness suites had to be created from 8 rooms in a short construction phase of just 3 weeks. The honeycomb shape of the building and the hexagonal rooms posed an additional challenge.
3D plans and interactive visualisations ensure that everything runs smoothly
We used digital measurements to minimise the construction phase on site and ensure maximum preparation in terms of planning and advance work in the workshop. Based on this, we were able to discuss the details and any changes with the customer using 3D preliminary planning and interactive 360° visualisation.
It also made it easier to coordinate the complex technology in the suites, starting with the water vapour stove, the electrical installation with special lighting technology, the air conditioning, the sanitary facilities and the special designer wallpaper.
Expertise, experience and bespoke work
The use of many different materials meant that a high level of craftsmanship, experience and knowledge was required in the planning and subsequent execution.
All elements were made to measure, whereby attention was paid to the detailed elaboration of the wooden joints. Most of the timber joints were mitred (45°), for example. In addition, even with the complex shapes, we paid attention to a continuous grain of the wood, which can only be achieved with a trained eye.
Installation still required a great deal of skill to ensure clean connections despite the 3D measurements.
