The Payne Estate

To aid the historical preservation plans for The House of the Seven Gables, Existing Conditions 3D laser scanned and modeled exterior shells of The Turner-Ingersoll Mansion (also known as The House of the Seven Gables), The Retire Beckett House, Hooper-Hathaway House, Nathanial Hawthorne Birthplace, Primm House, and features of the Seaside Colonial Revival Gardens. We also 3D laser scanned the Nathanial Hawthorne Birthplace basement to create a 2D floorplan to assess the challenges related to flood-proofing. Existing Conditions' as-built data will help to identify structural issues, deterioration, and other factors affecting the historical site, and deliver our client, Union Studio, 2D plans and a 3D model to develop architectural designs for restoration.

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.
