ABSTRACT:
An areaway allowing for escape or for ingress and egress in emergency situations is disclosed. A unitary body is designed for attachement to the exterior of a foundation wall. This unitary body includes steps to facilitate escape and may include openings to access the earth below the areaway and for planting. In such fashion both maintenance of the areaway and its aesthetic appeal are enhanced. Additional features allow for improved access for escape and improved drainage of the areaway. The unitary design may be molded and may include a cover, integral lights, or even simply a vertical retaining wall with molded steps to accommodate existing designs. The areaway allows aesthetic use of the space within it.
