FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Release. “Accessible Home Design Standards-Home Building Standards – Accessible Bathrooms” by Before The Architect.
Cumming, GA. January 18, 2003. Before The Architect has just released its standards for accessible bathroom layout and building, “Accessible Home Design Standards-Home Building Standards – Accessible Bathrooms.” The 23-page document focuses practical issues and answers about accessible bathroom planning and home building for homeowners, home designers, and home builders.
Accessible home design, broadly, goes by many names: accessible, universal, lifespan, lifetime, flex, etc. All share a basic - modifying habitable structure in recognition of occupants’ diminishing physical function, potential or actual. Before The Architect’s Accessible Bathroom could be anyone’s bathroom regardless of age or almost any physical challenge.
“These accessible standards are about what to do, how to do it, and why,” says Before The Architect principal, Ralph Pressel. “These standards are print-ready; quote them to your architect, home designer, or home builder. Make them work for you. They’re the better and best from worldwide sources, including ourselves. This is about graying America, America’s extended families, homes that welcome everyone.”
The document addresses single-family, owner-occupied, detached dwellings; home designing details. That’s most of the homes in the US. “Government guidelines apply to almost everyone except most homeowners,” wrote Pressel recently. “That’s not a bad thing. Those rules skip past or just plain pass over many aspects of accessible home design and home building.”
“Accessible Bathrooms” covers general considerations, floors, walls, plumbing, wiring, and finishing. It is not touchy-feely. It is nitty-gritty, specific, practiced. It emphasizes safety, durability, and convenience in contractors’ language with explanations for anybody. As Pressel says, “We take it [accessible home design] out of conference rooms and committee reports and put it out on the job site.”
Before The Architect also publishes “Home Design Standards-Home Building Standards.” more generally oriented piece. Other offers and bonus offers apply for now.
