Beerhouse ‘Vondel’ Amsterdam

Historical Context and Architectural Details

This 3D asset is a digital reconstruction of a historical architectural maquette sourced from the archives of Het Nieuwe Instituut. Designed in 1872 by the renowned architect Petrus Josephus Hubertus Cuypers for G.A. Heineken, the model represents the ‘Bierhuis Vondel’ in Amsterdam. The original physical mockup features a five-story building topped with two intersecting gabled roofs. Notable architectural elements include a detailed veranda with an accompanying upper terrace, all set within a garden environment that reflects the urban planning of the period.

Technical Specifications and Mesh Data

The model was produced via photogrammetry using a dataset of 140 photographs to capture the texture and form of the original plastic maquette. This high-poly scan is optimized for close-up inspection in digital archives or architectural visualizations. For broader context on the evolution of residential and commercial structures, this house reference provides useful background on historic building types.

• Mesh Complexity: 661.1k triangles and 331.7k vertices.
• File Formats: FBX, OBJ, and native BLENDER files.
• Included Assets: High-resolution textures and materials.
• Origin: Based on the 1872 Cuypers design for G.A. Heineken.

Project Applications

This asset is ideal for historical research, virtual museum exhibits, or heritage preservation projects. Developers using Unity or Unreal Engine can integrate this scan into period-accurate environments or interactive educational simulations. Because it is a scan of a physical scale model rather than a full-scale building, it retains the unique aesthetic of a museum artifact.
