Lechmere Viaduct

Existing Conditions was selected to provide 3D laser scanning and construction drone services for the iconic Pinnacle Penthouse at the Woolworth Building, as the purchaser intends to restore portions of the exterior to more closely reflect the original 1913 Cas Gilbert design and finish the interior living space. With the help of Existing Conditions, this blank canvas of architectural history will be transformed into a masterpiece.

This case study delves into the transformation of 1836 Biscayne Boulevard, an esteemed historic church in Miami, as it evolves into a vibrant retail space and will be integrated into a 40-story residential tower. Existing Conditions 3D laser scanned the site and delivered a 3D Revit model, floor plans, exterior elevations, reflected ceiling plans, and interior elevations.

Partnering with the Suffield Academy and Centerbrook Architects, an existing conditions survey was conducted on eight buildings, including the Tisch Field House, Perry Gymnasium, Tremaine Arts Center, Spencer Hall, Fuller Hall, Jeanice Seaverns Performing Arts Center, Williams Performing Arts Studio, and Guttag Music Center. A drone survey was also conducted on the East Campus, West Campus, Core Campus, and Muddy Brook. The Existing Conditions' scope of work encompassed both interior and exterior documentation of the buildings, including 3D Revit floor plans, reflected ceiling plans (RCPs), exterior elevations, and roof plans. In addition, a drone survey was conducted to provide an aerial perspective of the buildings, which proved highly beneficial in conjunction with our terrestrial 3D laser scanning of the core campus.
