Universal Design

A wide and sturdy wood boardwalk leads from a soft sandy beach strait to a series of circular and open bungalows set on stilts right in the bright turquoise ocean.

How universal design, clever ideas and a little vision can help us prepare a timeless home where to age happily.

Welcoming Life Changes.

When time comes to adapt our home to accommodate a big change in life, we should consider it a great opportunity to rethink our entire lifestyle altogether. We might even surprise ourselves and fancy altering some aspects of our routine we used to take for granted.

Breaking Barriers.

The concept of universal design, also referred to as aging in place, barrier-free design or inclusive design, primarily refers to enhancing our quality of life at home regardless of age, ability or situation, whatever might be our condition at any given point. It is meant to be inclusive while improving and easing our comfort, performance, health, wellness and social connections day after day. Promoting a barrier-free environment for physical and mental challenges that might affect us in the course of our lifetime.

New Beginnings.

Tweaking our homes to better fit our needs is a mood booster. It also helps rejuvenate old and dusty habits. Universal design will help us prepare a home to answer our every needs today and tomorrow. We should be bold while realistic. We set up for success and focus on what matters most : us and ours. Not only this is our chance to improve our living space, it is an opportunity to make our life better.
