In addition to the features listed below, here are common sense items that are a must when designing for the disabled new home purchaser or family member. Our designers will happily work through these with you.

These include the incorporation of passive solar principles, the orientation of the living and or bedrooms to the sun, double glazing and – naturally keeping the access and home on one level. A home designed for the disabled can look no different to any other home, but can be much more comfortable and functional for both the disabled person and their family.
