Zumthor House
This case study of Peter Zumthor's house was used to understand multiple programs as well as to understand the structure and design. The home was carefully analyzed in both 2D and spatially in order to reach a level of understanding when it came to the architect's design principles, concept, philosophy, and materiality.
The materials of the existing house were researched and mimicked to its highest capability in the 3D modeling process. Being a private residence, not all areas of the house were documented so there was some design liberty to such areas. In these instances, materiality was carefully chosen to continue and strengthen the connection that already existed between nature and structure.
After heavy research on the structure, 2D documentation was achieved with Autodesk Autocad. After all plans, elevations, and multiple sections were digitally drawn out, they were imported into Rhinoceros, a 3D modeling software program to better achieve spatial understanding. After the model was completed, it was imported into Lumion, a rendering software. In Lumion, materiality was applied. After all the necessary effect were applied, a video and rendered interior and exterior images were exported. To finalize the rendered images, they were taken into Adobe Photoshop to apply final detail edits.
There was a positive response from people who viewed this project! Quick understanding and easy readability was achieved through the 2D drawings as well as the renderings. I did learn a lot from the architect and structure itself, but my greatest amount of achieved knowledge came from the experimentation and understanding of all programs used to achieve the final product.
Hi Maria,
Currently I am researching the Z house of Peter Zumthor for my master program. Is it possible that you share a DWG file or some data about it?
Kind regards,
Vildan Osanmaz
Would it be possible to get the file for the 3D rhino model?
hi, im an architecture student and its my second semester so far. ive been assigned Zumthor house as a case study to make precedents of the home. can you send me the cad drawings and the rhino file related to the project? thank you

Hola! mi nombre es jimena, me pidieron que investigue la casa zumthor y su modulacion, tambien me pidieron que la realice en rinho, me podras pasar algo de tu investigacion para asi analisarlo, muchas gracias!
Hola alguien no tendrá el plano de la casa de peter zumthor con medidas
I have been assigned zumthor house as a case study
Could you send me ACad file?
plz!!!and thx!!!!

Hi, i'm korea university student.
I have been assigned zumthor House as a case study, for university project.
Could you send me some data? or ACad file?

can you please send me a ACad file, i really need it for study
i have been assigned zumthor house as a case study,
Could you send me some data?
It's very nice.
I chose Zumthor House as a university project, but it is hard because there are not enough resources.
Could you send me some data?
I would be very grateful if I had only one CAD file.
Great design!
