We have basement level rooms that extend beyond the above-grade building footprint. Effectively, the terrace serves as the roof for these below-grade rooms. If the terrace will remain untouched, does this count as a retained structural element? Seemed like it could go either way -- it really is a structural roof element, but it is also a site element, which i don't think would count. Anyone else run into this situation? Thanks.

Erica, it sounds to me like the terrace is the roof for those rooms, and should count.
