COHASSET · MASSACHUSETTS

Cohasset

Pointknown was engaged to document a coastal residential property in Cohasset, Massachusetts, with a unique focus on both the main residence and the surrounding natural hardscape. The project included a distinctive rock ledge formation that is physically integrated into the basement foundation, requiring highly accurate reality capture to fully understand the relationship between structure and site.

Use Case
Accurate Reality Capture
Measured once. Delivered ready for design.
What was documented
The entire property was captured using a combination of SLAM-based mobile laser scanning, terrestrial measurements, drone photogrammetry, and 360° imagery. Special attention was given to the exposed rock ledge and its interface with the building’s foundation, along with exterior landscaping, grade changes, and public-facing spaces. These elements were combined into a unified, spatially accurate dataset.
What was delivered
Pointknown delivered a detailed existing-conditions Revit model representing both the residence and integrated site conditions. The model includes architectural geometry, exterior hardscape, and the rock formation tied directly into the basement structure, providing a reliable foundation for design and engineering review.
Why it matters
Waterfront and coastal properties often involve complex interactions between natural geology and built structure. Capturing these relationships accurately is essential for renovation planning, structural evaluation, and long-term risk management. This model reduces uncertainty by clearly defining how the building engages with the site’s natural rock formation.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

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

This project stands out for its integration of natural and built environments into a single digital model. By capturing the rock ledge as part of the building system—not just the landscape—Pointknown provided a deeper level of insight into structural conditions that would be difficult to assess through traditional documentation methods alone.
