Simply Special
The front unit of this Department of Housing unit development was designed and constructed with the particular needs of a young client. The main requirement was mobility access to all areas of the home to make everyday life a little easier for an individual with restricted mobility.
The main features which acheive this brief are;
- specialised fixtures & fittings to the main bathroom and kitchen,
- commercial linoleum throughout to enhance wheelchair access,
- extra wide doorways,
- a specialist security door which allows a wheelchair bound individual to identify visitors without opening the door fully,
- extra wide hallway to enable wheelchair access,
- extra height to carport to accomodate car mounted wheelchair lifter,
- and in general even though the block was built up to eradicate drainage issues common to the site the mobility access was maintained by keeping pathways and entry to the home on flat surfaces.
