Universal and accessible designs are ADA compliant with features to make the home user-friendly to accommodate people with limited mobility and still make sense for everyone. The most common feature among these plans is that they are very open, with fewer walls to obstruct movement and wider doors and hallways to allow wheelchairs easy passage. Bathrooms are spacious with enough room for a 360-degree turn. Grab bars, lower sinks and roll-in showers with seats are common when designing an accessible bathroom. Accessible kitchens have lower countertops ground level cabinets and typically have an open space design for ease of wheelchair rotation as well. But it is the small details that are often overlooked but are extremely important. Such things as the location of light switches and electrical outlets or installing paddle-type handles on sinks and doors are just a few of the features that an experienced universal and accessible design/build firm takes into consideration during the design process.
