A design for your individual
lifestyle
Designing for a handicapped
family member or planning for aging in place doesn't mean
you have to give up on beautiful design. Features for
handicapped access have a reputation for being functional,
but unattractive, with added on afterthoughts like ramps and
grab bars in the bathroom.
Taking a wholistic approach to
accessibility in your remodeling project can provide comfort
and convenience for every member of your family. Using the
principles of universal design such as flexibility in use
and incorporating simple, intuitive technologies can make
all the difference in long term livability.
There are
dozens of solutions for every room in your home ranging from
using lever door handles that require minimal effort or
strength to use to non-slip flooring that provides adequate
traction throughout the house. Best of all, many solutions
work not just for the individual with the physical
challenges, but for everyone so duplication is minimized.
