Specializing in Home Remodeling, HouseWurks of Zionsville has been remodeling and building custom homes since 2005. HouseWurks focuses specifically on the markets in Zionsville, IN. Carmel, IN. and Westfield, IN. as we like to keep all of our projects close to home so that we can be on site daily and interact with our clients on a daily basis Whether building, remodeling or simply adding on to your home, the concept of universal design is something Jim Barber, founder of HouseWurks Custom Homes and Renovations in Zionsville, recommends incorporating into your plans. Home designs that maximize safety and security are increasingly important for seniors and their families. Universal Design ensures people of all ages and ability levels can live comfortably and safely in their home. Housewurks has the Certified Aging in Place Specialist certification, a program developed by the National Association of Home Builders. Barber says the universal design approach incorporates safety and independence into all areas of the home. "Our goal is to help people make their homes work for them for a lifetime, regardless of their age, income or abilities," Barber says. "(Universal design) isn't just for the elderly or handicapped. It accommodates all family members at all stages of life, all of whom benefit from homes that pose fewer restrictions on daily activities. With universal design, you want to have a plan so that any of your friends or relatives that may have disabilities can access your house like anybody else would," Barber says. "You want your friends and family to feel welcome to your home."
