SoHo 3D Laser Scanning FAQ

What makes SoHo cast-iron buildings unique for scanning?
SoHo has the largest collection of cast-iron architecture in the world. These 19th century buildings feature decorative cast-iron facades, large windows, high ceilings, and open loft floor plans. The exposed cast-iron columns at regular intervals actually make laser scanning efficient. We capture the architectural details that make these buildings valuable.
Do you need LPC approval to scan inside a SoHo landmarked building?
No, LPC approval is not required for interior scanning. LPC oversight applies to exterior changes and visible alterations. Interior renovation work follows standard DOB permitting. However, if your project involves exterior work, LPC review will be required and our scans can support those applications.
How do you scan large SoHo retail spaces?
SoHo retail spaces often span multiple floors with 10,000-20,000+ square feet. We typically use NavVis mobile scanning for speed and minimal disruption, scheduling early morning before store opening. For detailed as-builts supporting tenant fit-out, we use Leica RTC360 laser scanning, usually overnight.
Can you document cast-iron facade details for preservation?
Yes, we provide high-resolution facade documentation using drone photogrammetry and ground-based 3D scanning. The decorative details of cast-iron facades - columns, cornices, window surrounds, and ornamental elements - are captured at centimeter accuracy. This documentation supports preservation planning, restoration work, and LPC applications.
What are true lofts in SoHo and how does that affect scanning?
True lofts are original commercial buildings with cast-iron facades, high ceilings (often 12-14 feet), and open floor plans - relatively rare in SoHo today. These spaces require strategic camera and scanner placement for high ceilings. The exposed structure and industrial details that define true lofts are key selling points that our scans highlight.
