Barrier-Free Residential Design (Hardcover)
Easy-to-follow guidelines for designing beautiful, barrier-free homes that meet new ADA requirements!
With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), nearly every aspect of architectural design has come under close scrutiny for barrier-free access. But what really constitutes and architectural barrier? And what are the simplest, most cost-effective, code-specific ways to remove them?
In this practical, results-oriented book, you'll get a full picture of barrier-free design from a long-time expert. Complete with sketches and examples, surveys and building checklists, it offers a gold mine of design options - and answers virtually every question on identifying and removing residential barriers!
An illuminating walk-through of an imaginary home will sharpen your ability to instantly recognize and remove typical obstacles. From the driveway to the patio, from the bedroom to the bathroom, in both renovations and new construction, you'll quickly learn to apply the new dimensional requirements that create freedom of access - without sacrificing the inherent beauty of design.
For architects, interior designers, and builders who can use job-tested tips and techniques for designing safe, comfortable, attractive residences that comply with the new ADA guidelines, as well as for home owners who must create access for the elderly or disabled, here is the complete, information-packed professional sourcebook!
