BUILD MORE, BUILD MORE, BUILD MORE!!! WHEEL CHAIR ACCESSIBLE IN CASE A FAMILY AND/OR FRIEND MEMBER NEEDS ONE, IT IS RIGHT THERE. I AM NOT IN A WHEEL CHAIR AND DO NOT NEED ONE, BUT BELIEVE ME, I LOVE WHEEL CHAIR ACCESSIBLE HOMES, IN CASE YOU INVITE SOMEONE OVER THAT NEEDS A WHEEL CHAIR, BY GOLLY THEY CAN COME!!!
Thanks Otessa, I know how difficult it is to find accessible houses. I believe that is why I felt led to design some. I appreciate your kind words.
GO FOR IT LARRY NATIONWIDE, WORLDWIDE, GO FOR IT LARRY!!!
Needs to have a wheel chair accessible shower not a step in. Otherwise I like the design.
Thanks Doug, I agree, however the bath fixtures in 3D programs can be a little limiting.
So appreciate accessible designs that are “small” houses. The tinier or on wheels houses are not realistic for those who require accessibility to live comfortably and as independently as possible. Altho I am quite physically active, I know that can be taken away at any time, just as with my husband who had ALS. One day you are moving as usual, and then it all changes. And it is not easy, quick, or cheap to make changes to most houses. At least our house was open concept with wide doorways which helped alot. The next house will definitely be one like this. Thanks for the work you do with this.
Susan, thank you for your kind words. If you have any questions about home design, feel free to contact me at any time. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a blessed day!
I so agree, Susan. That’s what happened to me. A combination of acute Fibromyalgia and a spinal injury, have made me practically immobile. We live in a 400 sq. ft. apartment and I use my walker as a wheelchair. There is not a lot of room to maneuver in this space but a home like the one Larry has designed is perfect. Plus, the added decks are wonderful for outdoor living.
I would love to see a walk-in tub added to the ADA bathroom. The bathroom closet could be removed and the tub put in next to the shower. Part of the walk-in closet could be used for bathroom storage. Also, I’d like to see the front door and steps moved toward the master bedroom, and part of the front porch closed so that bedroom #2 could be enlarged, allowing room to add a small bathroom in that bedroom leaving the ADA bathroom a private space.
Other than that, I really do like the design of this house.
4 words! LOVE IT! THANK YOU❤️
Thank you!
Not tiny, but this is just abut perfect.
Thank you!
The overall interior design is well thought out for an individual that utilizes a wheelchair. However the exterior is not wheelchair accessible with the steps leading to the front door.
My husband suddenly became wheelchair-bound in his 40s. We tried to find ADA homes and there were none available. This home looks well thought out. A few things to think about.
1. W/D in the bathroom so the flooring is better and easier to maneuver around. They need to be side by side for someone in a wheelchair to reach.
2. Best to have a second 1/2 bath at least as it takes extra long in the bathroom usually for someone in a wheelchair.
3. Look into more storage for specific things as things scattered about are difficult to get around. Things like brooms, vacuum, linen closet, etc.
Other ideas…
3. Put electrical outlets up higher as it’s easier to plug things in/pull out. Also, so they’re accessible (not behind furniture).
4. Refrigerator with water/ice to make getting a drink more accessible.
5. Think about the type of flooring. Don’t put carpeting next to outside entrances as wheelchairs get very wet and dirty. Also, if carpeting is used, use Berber.
Thank you, Becca, for sharing!
