We’ve recently completed a programme of historic building recording at Canons Ashby House in Northamptonshire. During that time it continued to surprise and intrigue us, and the collage of rooms and building fabrics provided interesting puzzles as we attempted to piece together the story of this unique house.
In order to produce a comprehensive record of the house we utilised traditional recording techniques and consulted our dedicated team of specialists. Alongside this we used cutting edge technology such as laser survey, photogrammetry and drone photography. Our hand held laser survey allowed us to fully map the interior and exterior of the house to better understand the three-dimensional relationship and interaction of the rooms. Unlike traditional laser survey methods, the hand-held scanner allowed us to very rapidly scan all available spaces in continuous succession and could be taken into tight roof spaces which would be very difficult and time consuming to carry out with fixed scanners. The entire survey was undertaken in less than two days. Take a closer look at the scans here:
