Once upon a place (BA-Thesis)
These historical buildings located in Nuermberg (Germany) were both created by the architect "Jakob Wolff der Ältere" in 1590 and 1605. I digitally reconstructed them using archive plans and rendered them into Backplates at their original locations.
This was my graduation project at university, so i did have the opportunity to utilize unlimited (and free) access to the city-archives and dig through some very old plans and reports - gotta love that smell of old paper :)
Toplerhaus - Renaissance Architecture (Nürnberg / Germany)
Build in 1590 and burnt down in 1945, this magnificent structure was replaced only with a functional building.
The Toplerhaus featured a nice tower and dormers on its roofing.
Pellerhaus - Renaissance Architecture (Nürnberg / Germany)
The construction was finished in 1605 and the building was severely damaged in WWII, currently it is beeing partially restaurated.
The Pellerhauses gorgeous renaissance fascade was one of the most significant ones of its era.
Some of the reference photos which i was using for modeling apart from the plans. Really useful to determine curtains and little deteails like the flower pots on the first floor to make it more alive.
I do not own these photos.
A glimpse overview of the locations and buildings today.
