Homes and businesses designed so everyone can enter, move and live comfortably, now and for years to come.
A good home works for a toddler, a grown adult with a bad knee and a grandparent. Accessible design plans for that range: step-free entries, wide doors, bathrooms with room to turn, reachable storage and good lighting. It makes daily life easier for everyone, and it lets people stay in the homes they love. Homeowners and business owners in Nashville ask us to plan accessible spaces and modifications.
We start with a conversation and a visit to see how you move through the space and where it gets hard. We measure doors, halls, bathrooms and entries and review the guidelines that apply. We design changes such as ramps, wider openings, curbless showers, lowered counters and better lighting, and we prepare drawings for permit and construction. We aim for solutions that look like ordinary good design. Think about who will use the space now and who might use it later, including visitors. Planning for both the present and the likely future allows us to build in good bones, such as blocking in walls for future grab bars, that cost little today and save a great deal later.
Entries, halls and doors are planned for easy movement, whether on foot, with a cane or in a wheelchair.
Curbless showers, space to turn and well-placed grab bars make bathrooms safer without looking clinical.
Counters, drawers and appliances are placed for comfortable use at different heights.
Good lighting, contrast and simple controls help people see and move confidently.
