Hard Hat Tour: Building Resilience on Park Hill Lane
November 13, 2019 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Free – 15$1 LU
Join us for a tour led by Adam Grosshans, Warner Group (Site Improvements & Addition), Bob Klammer (Wine Cave) & Eric Johnson (Allen Construction)
This Hard Hat Tour will showcase the in-progress construction of a wine cave and other site improvements in response to the Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flow; a portion of the property was damaged in both events. As a result, the 52 feet deep wine cave will not only be a tasting room and storage for 5,000 bottles of wine but also serve as a safe location to shelter-in-place during a firestorm. The wine cave is just one part of a larger schema to enhance the site. Terraced concrete retaining walls on 27 caissons, ranging in depth from 10 feet to 25 feet, fortify the house’s existing foundation system and allows for garden steps to ease movement on this sloped site. In addition to the main residence allows for the creation of a private guest suite and staircase to replace a previously perilous spiral staircase. The essential systems of the main house and cave will be linked to a backup power system. All aspects of this project are to build resilience to face the future, whether that is sheltering- or aging-in-place.
Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for the steep slopes, and stairs.
Parking – Parking is limited on-site and there is little street parking. As a result, CARPOOLING IS ENCOURAGED. Allen staff will be on hand to direct stacked parking on site.
