Project Challenges & Creative Solutions
The community’s modern architecture presented unique site access challenges, with front entrances and garages located on two or even three sides of many buildings. This required precision elevation design to ensure universal accessibility and compliance with ADA standards across the entire site.
Additionally, the project is situated approximately 15 feet above Templeton Street, demanding a carefully engineered solution to transition the elevation safely and seamlessly. H&A designed a tiered retaining wall system that not only addressed the grade differential but also integrated harmoniously with the landscaping and architectural aesthetic of Del Sur.
Outcome
Our advanced engineering and grading solutions ensured smooth pedestrian and vehicular access, enhanced curb appeal, and delivered a cohesive connection to the greater Del Sur community. The result is a secure, comfortable, and vibrant neighborhood that supports senior residents with the safety, accessibility, and lifestyle features they value most.
