Description
Proving that accessibility and elegance need not be mutually exclusive, High-Access Home is filled with high-end interiors embodying the best of barrier-free living. Aimed at minimizing the effort needed to accomplish everyday tasks, Universal Design strives for buildings and products that can be used by the broadest possible range of people. Rather than such using obvious hallmarks of accessibility as a conspicuous ramp shooting straight up to the front door or the stainless-steel grab bars reminiscent of a hospital, Universal Design overlays the user-friendly with the stylish, melding aesthetics and practicality.
