    Yes! We did size the opening for wheel chair access if it ever becomes necessary. I am glad you like it.

    These beautiful examples of universal access design are so helpful. Too often we think of accessible elements as being too much sterile and institutional. this is a great example of how unversal design can be seamless. Smart to do too given disability can impact anyone's life at any time. Think of the fifteen or so folks who lost limbs in the recent Boston bombings. In my case, I have MS and as the disease has progressed over decades, I've had universal access elements worked into every home we've had remodeled or built from scratch. In every case, the houses were sold to folks who were not disabled but like the sense of space and usefulness that come from good accessible design. Hubby and I are kanoodling a move to the Portland area and you are on my follow list on Houzz because I admire your work in many ways and also because you clearly understand the value of accessible elements. Thanks!

    Thanks for your comment. I agree completely that accessibility can be integrated beautifully into space with thoughtful creative planning. If there is an option to make elements of the design universally accessible, I always suggest it to clients and they almost always prefer it.
