Cherry Street Lofts
Bridgeport, CT
Wiles Architects began working on the construction administration phase of the Cherry Street Lofts in Bridgeport, CT in 2018. Currently we are working on the third phase of this project, which includes the research, design, and restoration of a series of historical factories in the heart of the west end of Bridgeport, CT, into a mix of affordable and luxury housing. We are currently in the existing conditions documentation phase of this project. The newest technology we have used to document the conditions of these historical buildings was with the use of company that aided us in the 3D imaging and of the buildings in its exact state. From this technology we are accurately able to document and recreate the buildings in other software such as Revit, with precision accuracy.
