One of the greatest challenges when working on the architectural design of historic properties is meeting accessibility requirements without compromising the historic integrity of the structure and its landscape. After a thorough review of the interior and exterior of the building, we outline any limitations on grading and architectural modifications. We then explore all feasible options and determine the best course of action – one that is up-to-code, safeguards the integrity of the space, meets all client criteria, and results in a beautifully renewed outdoor space.
