3D Scanning for Outdoor Design: Creating the Perfect Barbecue Pavilion and Sauna Retreat

Designing a beautiful and functional outdoor space starts with precision—and nothing delivers that better than 3D scanning for outdoor design. At Ringstadhavna, we harnessed cutting-edge 3D scanning technology to craft a sophisticated multifunctional outdoor space for a private residence, integrating a barbecue pavilion and a semi-enclosed sauna with jacuzzi that harmonizes with the natural surroundings.
This project showcases how digital innovation, creative architecture, and practical design can combine to deliver a remarkable result.

Accurate Planning with 3D Scanning Technology

To begin, we used high-resolution 3D scanning tools to capture the exact geometry of the client’s garden, including the residence, terrain, and existing vegetation. This precise model formed the foundation of the project.

By leveraging our 3D scanning services, we achieved several key advantages:

Accurate integration of the new structures with existing natural and built elements.
The ability to visualize various design scenarios before any construction began.
Improved planning and reduced construction errors or rework.

This method allowed us to tailor every detail to the client’s lifestyle and environment—resulting in seamless execution and efficient project delivery.

Multifunctional Outdoor Space Tailored for Living

The client’s main objective was clear: to transform their backyard into a multifunctional outdoor space perfect for hosting, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors year-round.

We developed two core structures:

1. The Barbecue Pavilion: A Social Hub for Outdoor Living

The barbecue pavilion was designed as a semi-open structure offering:

A built-in grill and kitchen for outdoor cooking
A dining area ideal for entertaining guests
Large sliding windows that open fully during summer for maximum ventilation and connection with nature

Its clean architectural lines and practical layout make it the ideal gathering space for any occasion.

2. Sauna with Jacuzzi: A Wellness Escape in Your Backyard

For wellness and relaxation, we created a semi-enclosed sauna with a jacuzzi, complete with:

A dry sauna for health and rejuvenation
A jacuzzi sheltered under a wooden pergola
Thoughtful design for privacy, shade, and comfort

These features ensure that the space can be enjoyed even during colder months, making it a year-round retreat.

Seamless Environmental Integration

Thanks to the detailed 3D model, we were able to harmoniously integrate both the pavilion and sauna into the natural landscape. Existing trees and garden features were carefully considered, enhancing the sense of tranquility and unity between structure and setting.

Efficient Construction and Reduced Costs

One of the major benefits of 3D scanning is its ability to prevent costly mistakes. During this project, it allowed us to:

Accurately plan construction phases
Optimize the placement of utilities like plumbing and wiring
Select appropriate materials from the beginning

This approach not only minimized risks but also saved time and budget—something every client appreciates.
