54th Street Residence

Existing conditions documentation for a Midtown Manhattan residence overlooking MoMA's sculpture garden. Located just steps from the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan, this residence sits within one of New York City's most architecturally layered blocks. Pointknown documented the full interior of the property and delivered a coordinated CAD documentation package to support future renovation and design work.

What was documented
Pointknown documented the full interior of the residence using mobile LiDAR scanning and structured photographic capture, recording the layout, architectural features, and spatial relationships needed to create an accurate representation of existing conditions.
What was delivered
The project resulted in a complete CAD documentation package, including floor plans, interior elevations, and building sections. These deliverables were developed from a coordinated 3D workflow to support future design and renovation efforts with greater accuracy and consistency.
Why it matters
In buildings like this—where architectural layers, renovations, and tight adjacencies are the norm—accurate documentation is not a luxury. It is the foundation for everything that follows.By building from a coordinated 3D understanding and delivering clear, structured drawings, we provide design teams with a dependable baseline—so they can focus on design, not interpretation.
THE ASSIGNMENT

Capturing clarity inside a complex urban context.

Working in Manhattan means every project exists within layers of previous construction, renovation, and architectural history. Positioned adjacent to the Museum of Modern Art's sculpture garden, this residence required accurate documentation before future design decisions could begin. Pointknown captured the full interior geometry of the property and translated existing conditions into reliable design-ready documentation.

Context + Precision

Dense urban environments leave little room for assumptions.

In New York City residences, small inaccuracies can quickly compound into larger design challenges. Reliable documentation reduces uncertainty before design work begins.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

A complete existing conditions package, from reality capture to usable deliverables.

A full set of CAD deliverables—including floor plans, interior elevations, and building sections—was produced from a coordinated 3D workflow to ensure clarity, consistency, and reliability across all outputs. The result is a design-ready documentation package that supports confident decision-making for future renovation and planning.
