Mountainbrook Universal Design
Project Overview
Universal Design can impact many different people and their needs, but the most common elements of Universal Design include aging in place, accommodating special needs, and providing adaptability for multi-generational families. Recently, we completed a project for a family who were faced with the sudden and unexpected reality of special needs. The master bathroom of the existing home was on the second floor, so we were tasked with creating a new master bath on the first floor that was ADA compliant and fully accessible for someone confined to a wheel chair.
This new ADA compliant master bath features a custom, barrier-free, “wheel-in” shower, a floating vanity with ample leg and chair space, and a multitude of functional grab bars for ease of use. For all of the challenges this family must now face, a new Universally Designed master bath now provides practical relief and hopefully some peace of mind.
