RALPH LAUREN RETAIL STORE — BOSTON

We developed a digital twin from a point cloud scan of a Ralph Lauren retail location in Kansas. The goal was to create a reliable Revit model that would support both documentation and furniture planning for future store rollouts.

The model included architecture, structure, MEP, and custom parametric families — all delivered at a medium level of detail optimized for accuracy and performance.

[ Challenges ]

Recreating the store’s modular casework

One of the key project challenges was recreating the store’s modular casework. To address this, we built a single adaptable Revit family capable of adjusting shelf quantities, dimensions, mirror placements, and panel visibility. This not only improved modeling efficiency but also made it easy for the client to reuse and adapt the furniture layout in other stores.

Aligning model geometry with point cloud deviations

The scanned data revealed subtle irregularities in structure. We developed custom modeling techniques to align walls, ceiling slopes, and in-store elements accurately while keeping the geometry clean and reusable.

Capturing in-store lighting logic

The client required not just the lighting layout but also logical grouping and labeling of fixtures to match the store’s operational zones. This required precise placement and custom naming conventions within the Revit model.

Balancing model detail with file performance

We needed to maintain a medium level of detail for coordination purposes while ensuring the file remained lightweight enough for rapid editing and future rollouts. This involved strategic simplification of families and MEP elements.

[ Results ]

This digital twin helped the client assess furniture reuse, validate spatial dimensions, and prepare detailed as-built documentation for planning and permitting.
