Longwood Towers Apartments

Situated in Brookline, Massachusetts, Longwood Towers Apartments is a residential complex 11 stories tall featuring classic Gothic towers. These buildings, constructed around the turn of the last century, were in need of a comprehensive exterior envelope survey. A comprehensive exterior envelope survey, also known as a building envelope condition survey, is a detailed inspection of a building's exterior to assess its condition and identify any issues that may require repair. Recognizing the challenge posed by the building's height, Existing Conditions employed not only terrestrial 3D laser scanning but also utilized aerial drone imagery to capture intricate details, particularly in areas where the building had deteriorated. This reality capture approach provided invaluable situational awareness to the design team to evaluate the building and address any potential issues that might require repair or replacement.
