Well, I know how to solve the towel-hanging problem in my teeny bathroom! Great idea!

Just stunning! I love the look of the kitchen, but wish there were more pictures of the rest of the house!

Beautiful and so functional!

This is AMAZINGLY beautiful. I would love to live here. Very inspiring.

One of my favorite posts, I think. Love the ceiling, all those windows, the clean and streamlined feel, and the ladder in the bathroom. Bravissimo.

where could I find a bamboo ladder like that?! I am totally borrowing that idea for my bathroom renovation...it's so clean and simple, yet the natural material adds warmth

well, I managed to find a similar ladder on amazon...but the reviews were horrible! customers complained that the bamboo cracked in the first week...I wonder where Karen & Dave got their's, and if it also cracked after they set it up...?

So pretty. Paint color?

Such a beautiful house and only 6 pics? This must ba a mistake.

Everyone - open the thumbnails to access all the pictures.

This is lovely and restful.

I'm so glad AT is featuring universal design! Every new home should be built with people of all ages and all mobilities in mind. I'm only sorry we didn't get to see more of this beautiful place.

Such a beautiful design; the fact that it is accessible is the cherry on top. Love everything about this place.

Gorgeous! I love the open flow, especially noticeable in the seamless transitions between rooms. It's relaxing in its simplicity.

And yeah, maybe someone can fix the tour so that it takes you through all the pictures? Thanks for the thumbnail tip, JynxnJez!

Very, very elegant. It's so accessible without compromising at all on the design. Well done!

Clean, tidy and sleek..I love it!

That first picture had me never you see a straight axes like that. Very beautiful, warm and modern home. You must be really proud!
If I can be picky I am not crazy about the rubber or pvc base its too commercial interior office to me where it serves a purpose.

I am curious to know how you maintain the patio with all the rain and keeping it so pristine? Did you install an outdoor flooring material that can be washed down? I have brick and after the rain its cover in gross moss and have to do a major power hosing three times a year.

beautiful

I posted on this tour before, but I have to add something: My mom just mentioned we'll probably need to make my grandparents' house wheelchair accessible within the next year. I pointed her and my uncles to this post as a great resource for materials and how to make it look planned and tasteful. Thanks so much!

lovely project. you can find a bamboo ladder at vivaterra.com

Beautiful! I love how open the home is to nature. What paint color was used in the dining room/kitchen?

Where can I buy that tall bamboo ladder? I am looking for something tall like 8' high.

Beautiful house. Thank you for sharing !!

Although the colours wouldn't be to my taste I love the open feel of this house. My sister lived in a wheelchair accessible apartment (although she was not in a wheelchair her boyfriend was for some of the time) and one of the first things we all noticed was how the accessibility features made the place feel so much more airy and spacious. Even just the slightly wider corridors and doorways, and the elbow-height (if you're standing up) lightswitches all made a huge, positive, aesthetic difference.

Amazing.

Very inspiring & calming!

beautiful.

There's a similar bamboo ladder on VivaTerra's site-on sale too.

Thanks for sharing. More house tours featuring universal design, please!

Such a beautiful home!! LOVE!

Stunningly beautiful home! Every time I read Apartment Therapy, I wish for posts about accessible homes. All the posts about homes that have stairs and ladders and lofts are interesting, but the ideas are completely impractical to those of us who can't climb stairs, etc. I am delighted to see this post, and hope there will be more places shown here with accessible features.

I only wish that there were more photographs shown of this gorgeous place.

Aesthetically pleasing and so functional. Now we're talkin'! Yes, it would be nice to see more photos of this impressive and welcoming home.

Yes, please, more universal design, more accessibility, and more beautiful spaces that everyone can use. Thanks!

beautiful, relaxing and inspiring!!!
