The Gregory Grandparents

The application of Universal Design has been something that I have been focusing all year through the development of separate living quarters that include a bathroom, kitchen, and child’s room. This project shows my knowledge of universal design in one small apartment for two elderly people.

One of the things that I would have done differently with my design was flip the residence so the entry to both interior homes where closer to the main entry to the whole home. This way the people would need to walk far to get to the home.

Another thing that flipping the residence would have fixed was that it would add a window to the bedroom. While it could have been easier to just add a window for this project the client did not want to add or remove any windows.

All together this project turned great, applying all the requirements for universal design in a small tight space built for two simple people.
