POB - Fishtown Article

POB Magazine just published an article, HDS Fishtown Article, on one of our High Definition Survey projects, Historic Fishtown. This project is located in Leland, Michigan, in the northwest corner of the state, and will preserve the nature and characteristics of this charming fishing village.

Our task was to scan and provide 3D wireframe models of each building so the architects could better understand their physical relationship. During the renovation, the buildings will be moved to a nearby parking lot so foundations can be installed and exterior improvements to the buildings themselves.

Hope you enjoy the article!
