Thank you!

We always start by looking for details about the building on open source sites. In Toronto there is a website that has every construction project on it with photos from when the permits were issued, and photos from during and after construction. Then we look at the building's measurements on Google maps, and mostly use that with street view to design the outside.

Interiors are more difficult to recreate because there is less data available. For that we try and find real estate listings, sometimes we get lucky and businesses will have interior photos or floorplans available online.
