Riverside Drive Mansion
In an ambitious endeavor to preserve the legacy of a distinguished historic landmark on Manhattan's Riverside Drive, MYND Workshop was commissioned to meticulously document multiple phases throughout the building's renovation. This project aimed to honor the architectural integrity of the landmark while adapting it for contemporary use, a task that required precision, respect for historical details, and a deep understanding of preservation principles.

To meet the demands of this extensive renovation project, MYND Workshop employed advanced laser scanning technology to capture the intricate details of the building's facade and structural elements. The scanning process was meticulously planned to ensure that every aspect of the building's exterior was accurately documented, creating a comprehensive digital record that would serve as an invaluable reference for the renovation team.One of the critical phases of the project involved documenting the interior wood beam structure post-light demolition, a task that was essential for understanding the building's original construction techniques and for planning structural reinforcements. Additionally, the detailed ornamentation of the interior was scanned to provide a precise reference for restorative work, ensuring that the renovation would maintain the building's historical character.
