Wheelchair/Handicap Accessible Plans

Wheelchair or handicap accessible home plans incorporate universal design and are described as homes designed with features that make a dwelling user-friendly for the handicapped. Wheelchair accessible house designs (usually one-story) incorporate smart ideas and function including no-step entries, wider doorways and hallways, an open floor plan, lever door handles, and good lighting. Other changes in wheelchair accessible style homes are counter heights, sink heights, doorknobs styles and built-in appliances. There are specific guidelines that need to be met for a house plan to be considered wheelchair accessible.
