2015 Madison Area Builders Association Parade of Homes Participant

We designed this attractive ranch-style home using universal design standards. Universal Design is also known as inclusive design or life span design. Its goal is to create a built environment that is fair and equal to everyone, including the disabled and the elderly. This "level playing field" approach enables all people to be self-reliant and socially engaged. An example of this is this home's no-step entrance and driveway grade. These two elements make the home wheelchair accessible and eliminate any future need for aging-in-place modifications.

Custom His-and-Hers Vanities

The accessible master bath has plenty of space for turning radius, transfer space from chair to toilet, and a roll-in shower with high-end sliding glass shower doors, as well as enough room to transfer from wheelchair to seat. The vanities are customized for his-and-hers, one that suits a wheelchair, and one that suits a standing position.

Makeup Vanity

A makeup vanity between the standard sink and accessible sink adds convenience while completing the look of elegance throughout this accessible luxury bathroom.

Roll-In Shower

The roll-in shower has high-end sliding glass shower doors, as well as enough room to transfer from a wheelchair to a seat.
 

 
 
 

Wheelchair Accessible Powder Room

Accessible design can be stylish. This powder room has a wheelchair-accessible vanity sink that meets the American Disabilities Act requirements. View how we used universal design to create a wheelchair-accessible kitchen in this home.
