Housing for the 21st century is changing. More than ever, it is necessary to design living space that meets the needs of all people, young, old, short, tall, disabled and able-bodied. There's an exciting design principle called Universal Design that helps achieve this objective. Using Universal Design and applying principles for affordable building techniques results in a product that serves a broad range of people.
This site also provides access to a multimedia CD that demonstrates the principles of universal design, as well as a video presentation and interactive flash program that allows users to navigate through the floor plans of a universally designed home and listen to a video explaining each aspect (this feature may take a while to load).
