potential analysis

orto is an interdisciplinary specialist, integrating building data in collaborative workflows.

We reconstruct and model existing buildings using scan technologies and construction analysis methods to enable sustainable decisions for planners and developers.

Since 2022, we foster collaboration in 3D building data with our software orto space, bringing precision where it matters most – at the beginning of the planning process.

    On Pettenkofer Strasse, along a main road that connects Friedrichshain with Treptow and Lichtenberg, there was a commercial centre that was over 100 years old. For the analysis and planning of the partial demolition, two of the buildings intended for reuse were completely digitised, including the entire site with the building shells that had already been approved for demolition.

    The result was a virtual copy of the commercial yard that combined laser scan data accurate to the millimetre with drone flights in the exterior space. In addition to the exact geometry, details such as masonry cracks, façade stones and roof tiles can be identified as photographic textures in the model.

    We created a BIM model for the two detailed buildings, which served as the basis for the work planning for the new perimeter block development. After analysing the digital copy, the development team decided to demolish three of the five buildings and retain two.
