25 School Street Boston, MA

Understand the Space Before You Design It

A full-building capture of 25 School Street — delivered as a clear, navigable, and design-ready dataset.

The space at 25 School Street in downtown Boston, formerly home to Scholars Pub and soon to become Off The Rails Boston, spans approximately 10,000 SF across two interconnected levels.

Its layout is not immediately legible from traditional documentation.

Pointknown was engaged to create a complete and accurate understanding of the existing conditions — allowing the design team and ownership group to move forward with clarity.

Scope of Work

Mobile LiDAR Scan

360 Video + Photography

Revit Model (coordinated existing conditions)

CAD Deliverables (plans, RCP, sections, elevations)

Gaussian Splat (immersive environment)

The Space

This is a space that reveals itself only when experienced.

Extends through the building across two levels

Contains irregular geometry and transitions

Reflects multiple layers of prior build-outs

Traditional plans alone would not fully communicate how it works.

Our Approach

We created a layered dataset designed to remove uncertainty:

LiDAR scanning to capture full geometry efficiently

360 imagery to retain material and lighting context

Gaussian Splat environment for intuitive navigation

Revit model + CAD outputs for design and documentation

Each component supports a different way of understanding the space — together, they align the team.
