Project Description

Aimbridge Hospitality hired Scan Skunks to scan and model part of a 22-storey Hilton Fashion District Hotel in New York City. Sitting about a mile away from Time Square, this hotel's project scope called for scanning select guestroom floors of the hotel, stairwells, lobby, amenity spaces, exterior plaza and facades. This unique building is nestled between two other tall buildings on 26th street. Because there are no visible "sides" of the hotel, one of the challenges was to connect the front of the building to the back exterior. Other challenges for hotel scanning are always present, however we were able to work with hotel staff to gain access to floors and areas during off-hours despite a high-occupancy rate.  The project was 5 days on-site and a scanned total of ~50,000sqft. 

The deliverable for the Client was a REVIT model with Matterport walkthrough. We modeled everything from outlets and switches to backsplashes and fire extinguishers.
