Universal Design & Aging in Place

A home renovation is the perfect time to visualize barrier free, safe, and aesthetically pleasing environments that work for you now and in the future. We can help you create home solutions that last a lifetime of seasons – providing comfort, control and independence. Without sacrificing style.

Universal Design (UD) is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.

Aging in Place uses the accessibility-for-all principles of UD when making a home modification, helping to create a home livable for all its inhabitants even when their needs change.

These days, style and safety go hand in hand, blending functionality with aesthetics.
Here are some features you may want to incorporate into your renovation plan:

  • No step entry ways
  • Wide doorways and hallways
  • Handrails and grab bars
  • Zero threshold showers
  • Non-slip surfaces
  • Lever door handles
  • Rocker light switches
  • Abundant good lighting
  • Easy open/close drawer slides
