Documenting a Historic Home in Port Washington

In the wake of Superstorm Sandy's devastating impact, MYND Workshop undertook a crucial project in Port Washington, NY, aimed at preserving the legacy of a historic home severely compromised by the storm. Understanding the importance of maintaining architectural heritage, especially in the face of natural disasters, our team was commissioned to meticulously document the exterior facades of this landmark residence before it was slated for demolition.

Utilizing advanced 3D laser scanning technology, we captured every detail of the home's unique structure and design. This careful process ensured that every aspect of the original facades was recorded with precision, creating a digital archive that would serve as a vital reference for future reconstruction efforts. The resultant data was then meticulously translated into a series of detailed 2D CAD drawings, encapsulating the essence and architectural integrity of the home as it stood before the storm.
