Lake Avenue Project – Newton, MA
3D Laser Scanning & Revit Modeling for Historic Home Renovation
Capturing Existing Conditions with Precision & Clarity
Pointknown provided full reality capture and 3D modeling services for a residential renovation project along Lake Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts, near the scenic Crystal Lake. This project is part of our ongoing mission to document and preserve New England’s architectural legacy while equipping architects and builders with precise, actionable digital models for design and construction.
Using our mobile LiDAR laser scanners, drone photography, and 360-degree and DSLR imagery, our team documented the home’s exterior and site context. We then delivered a high-accuracy Revit model customized to the client’s design standards to support renovation planning, zoning, and construction documentation.

🏡 Historic Context: Newton’s Garden Suburb Legacy
Lake Avenue is situated in Newton’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood, one of Massachusetts' most historically significant residential areas. Just steps from Crystal Lake, the area was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and features a mix of Victorian, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman-style homes.
Newton itself is recognized as one of America’s earliest planned garden suburbs, with a rich tradition of preserving historic architecture while embracing thoughtful development. The home captured in this project reflects that character—combining traditional craftsmanship with opportunities for modern updates.
