2005 Best Residential Universal Design

After being severely injured at work in 2000, one of the homeowners was confined to a wheelchair. They needed a bathroom that allowed wheelchair access to the shower, commode, and sink, while looking stylish and modern. To provide barrier-free access to the shower, the floor was jack hammered so there was no curb leading into the shower. The location of the toilet was situated in such a way that a commode chair could be rolled over the toilet, while still appearing aesthetically pleasing. The shower was equipped with anti-scald protection, grab bars, built-in soap boxes and enough room to accommodate both a wheelchair, but a care provider if necessary. The counter tops are at two levels. The barrier free countertop was installed so the custom wheelchair could still be wheeled under without the homeowner bumping his hands since the controls for the wheelchair are on top of the arm rests; also the plumbing was installed with protective covering so his legs would not be burned from the hot water. There were smiles and tears as the husband was able to take his first shower in over two years.
