description Since the early 21st century, BIM technology has enhanced building design, construction and management, while continuously evolving to create new specializations. Despite this, its full potential remains untapped. Today, BIM offers diverse applications in construction and related industries, incorporating advanced techniques such as laser scanning and photogrammetry. A specialized approach, HBIM (Heritage Building Information Modeling), enables the digital mapping, documentation, analysis and management of historic architecture. This study focuses on the Koprowski Family Villa in Celestynów, known as “Koprówka”, demolished twenty years ago. Despite its cultural significance, the property disappeared from the village. Using LiDAR survey data, preserved window frames, archival photographs and documents, this engineering study reconstructs “Koprówka” as an HBIM model, integrated into the existing landscape. The resulting 3D model can aid municipal authorities and potential investors in rebuilding “Koprówka”, while emphasizing the importance of cultural heritage in shaping local identity and raising awareness of historical structures’ value.
