Custom maple cabinetry. Universal design elements to maximize independence and remove barriers in areas of high use by residents with mixed abilities, e.g. large cabinetry hardware, ADA faucet, ADA kitchen sink and sink counter design. Work area and locking cabinetry for privacy of medical records and storage of medications. Light, bright, happy and safe with views of the outside neighborhood. Designed for independence, mobility and safety for residents with developmental disabilities living in a house with extra care provided.

The Hall Bath was converted into the open shower space and back-up space for her wheelchair. Insisting upon using the portable bench that she was used to for the last 35 years, we placed all of the plumbing within hand's reach - the hand-held shower wand on a slidebar with its own temp control and shampoo niche.

The second story can be reached by either a set of conventional stairs or by an elevator. The elevator has custom controls designed to meet the homeowner's specific needs. The first floor elevator entrance is close to the door leading to the garage for quick access to the second floor.
One of the design goals of the elevator installation was to prevent the feeling of claustrophobia when traveling between floors. The large window in the elevator shaft (at right below) is placed directly opposite another window facing the back yard.

The side ramp continues across the front yard and intersects with another ramp coming off the front porch. The front porch was overlaid with concrete to be even with the interior finished floor. A new entry door was installed with an ADA low profile threshold. The new ADA shower was pushed out onto the porch to contain a 48" x 48" shower.

Open concept to maximize functional use of space for residents and caregivers. Universal design elements to maximize independence and remove barriers in areas of high use by residents with mixed abilities, e.g. custom barn door with Krownlab hardware, easy glide and quiet. Light, bright, happy and safe. Designed for independence, mobility and safety for residents with developmental disabilities living in a house with extra care provided.

The architect skillfully blended the new structure into the existing house, repeating several features of the original, while 'stepping in' the footprint of the addition to avoid a 'dormitory' appearance.
