Accessible Housing by Design: Universal Design Principles in Practice
By Steven Winter Association
There's a large and growing market for universal design in housing, but little information available to professionals on how to achieve it. In this first-of-its-kind implementation guide, you'll learn how to incorporate all the elements of universal design and barrier-free access into everything from a single-family home to a retirement communityÑeasily, attractively, and at modest or no additional cost. Learn how to seamlessly integrate ramps, hands-free controls, special bathroom and kitchen features, visual- and hearing-impairment aids, remote-control devices and more into your plans. Contains color photos, eye-catching icons, checklists, and a directory of suppliers of accessible products.
