Design & Build – incorporating wheelchair access
Incorporate wider door frames for wheelchair, hobless showers, adaptable living for disabled, remove steps to entries, with out compromising design & budget.
As Australians, we all have a few things in common…a great love of the outdoors, opting a major trend to ‘bring the outside in’. We begin to thrive for a home or renovation that grows with us as we age. We build for it to last.
You can save yourself lots of time and money now if you plan for the future. As one of the premier Perth building companies specialising in luxury homes, Unique Residence knows how important design and aesthetics are. But we also know that accessibility is paramount if you have someone in your family requiring some type of special accommodation. We want to factor in what happens as we age. The ageing process is different for everyone. Some of us hold up better than others. We need to plan now for what may happen one day.
Designing for New Homes Perth
Widening doorways at the time of construction is much easier than going back in 20 years to cut walls and move ducting as well as electrical wires. Work smarter, not harder and plan for the future. Incorporate wider door frames for wheelchair accessibility now and you won’t need to retro-fit anything later. Include adaptable living plans for the disabled in your design now without compromising the design or the budget. Think of the possibilities; remove steps in and out to allow smooth transitions from inside to outside via wheelchair, motorised scooter or simply walking. No one wants to fall, young or old!
Take preventative measures now. At 35, you might be a bit miffed, get up and go on with your day, hoping no one saw you take that tumble trying to climb over the threshold, carrying packages from the store; but at 75, you may have to lay there until someone stops to check on you and offers to help you up! Just to note – we’ll help you be prepared.
Kitchens and bathrooms can be renovated for accessibility as well. Counter heights can be lowered; bathrooms can be transformed into wet rooms for really easy accessibility. We can perform landscape renovations allowing ease of access to the yard and gardens.
There’s no need to jump off into the deep end of the pool, but a little preparation can go a long way in the end. Choose wisely now and you will have no regrets later. Allow Unique Residence to guide you in your decision process. Contact us to for your FREE concept drawing today!
