Krieger + Associates Architects needed a precise design starting point for homeowners renovating a circa-1915 stone residence in Chestnut Hill.

The property includes roughly 8,000 square feet across four stories and a separate, approximately 1,200-square-foot carriage house. Historic residences often accumulate undocumented modifications and contain irregular geometry and architectural detailing that generic plans can overlook. Krieger requested an LOD 300 Revit 2023 model and sheets aligned with its office standards, with additional attention to trim, fascia, decorative patterns, and material transitions.

A two-person Coreskan team captured both buildings in one day using laser scanning, Matterport imaging, and aerial photography to resolve the steep, multi-gabled roof. A tailored modeling scope preserved selected fine details while keeping the broader package at LOD 300. Scanning extended into accessible crawl spaces, and the crew coordinated around homeowner schedules while using protective shoe covers to minimize disruption.

Within fifteen days, Coreskan delivered the models and architectural drawing set — including floor and ceiling plans, roof slopes, elevations, sections, window heights, and floor-level datums for both structures.
