Dunehouse Terschelling
Delivered in March 2016 for Marc Koehler ArchitectsThe iconic Dunehouse from dutch TV host Jort Kelder designed by Marc Koehler Architects got some serious attention in the international media. After receiving several nominations Marc Koehler got awarded with the titel New Architectural Talent of the year 2015. This created a perfect window of opportunity to contact Marc Koehler and test our 3D skills to reverse engineer this house in to virtual reality.
Our goal was to rebuild the Dunehouse in virtual reality and show this as a surprise to the owner Jort Kelder. The experiment was succesful when Jort Kelder acknowledged that this remake in virtual reality was copy of the real thing.
Reaction Jort Kelder:
