Universal Design

I've been working on a project for a client that has been extremely enlightening, and given me the charge I didn't know I needed to change my business model.  In this particular project, my client has built a home that is not only handicapped accessible but so universal in its design that anyone could live comfortably in the home.  Let's face it, most accessible homes are not going to end up in the pages of Martha Stewarts Living.

Considering our current economy, real estate is rapidly changing to fit the demands and needs of the people.  We have soldiers coming back from overseas with life altering injuries and a generation of people taking in their parents due to high assisted living cost and medical care.  I have clients now that have taken in a parent for no other reason than financial.  It just makes sense.

 


Real estate and real estate photography affords me opportunities to meet wonderful people and to tour/shoot amazing homes.  This KC home is not for sale but will end up in a book about universal design being published in the next year. If I'm lucky one or more of my images will be published as a case study for this home.........so take that Martha Stewart!
