Clients Pat and Peggy, found
themselves in need of an accessibility home evaluation and possibly some
home modifications after a tragic accident. They contacted
Access.Architectural
to help them assess their
accessibility needs and to offer any suggestions for modifications to their
home.
Access.Architectural
helped them with their concerns
over emergency egress, as well as wheelchair access to one of their home's
restroom facilities.
We all met (at the hospital
and later at their home) to develop the best possible design. Then, a
Contractor was chosen through a Bid Process and construction began under
direct supervision by
Access.Architectural.

The
old shower stall and adjacent toilet were combined into one curb-less
shower. This shower included non-slip tile flooring and an additional
hand held shower head and a lower shower niche (shown top right).
The old dual lavatory was
consolidated into one, allowing room for accessible cabinet storage (shown
open at bottom right). A proprietary Access.Architectural design for
the doors below the sink, allow for wheelchair knee clearance along with
the aesthetic of any typical base cabinet (as shown on the top right).
