ASRE Project
ASRE rebuilt a lower-level entry area with failing wall replacement, selective demolition, new footers, natural drainage regrading, roof-structure reuse, boulder wall detailing, glass entry elements and a cleaner entry transition.
Project Details
A technical retaining wall, drainage and lower-level entry rebuild that replaced failing walls, reused portions of the existing roof structure, added new footers, regraded the site so the entry was no longer the low point, maintained lower-level vehicle access and improved natural light.
Challenge
The lower-level entry had failing retaining walls, outdated roof structure and a low-point grading problem that directed water toward the doorway. The rebuild had to remove and reuse portions of the existing roof, selectively demolish masonry and slab components, preserve lower-level vehicle access and solve drainage without relying on traditional piping.
Solution
ASRE removed the failing wall system, selectively demolished masonry and slab components, installed new footers, rebuilt the structural retaining wall system and regraded the surrounding area so water could move away from the lower-level entry naturally. The rebuilt approach reused portions of the existing roof structure, maintained driveway access to the lower area, introduced glass entry elements for more natural light and integrated a landscape boulder wall into the finished design.
Project Scope
Finished Result
The finished entry area solved the wall and drainage issue while making the doorway feel intentional, brighter and easier to use. The new retaining and grading work supports the structure instead of leaving the entry at the low point of the site, improving stormwater movement, access and the overall lower-level experience.
