Building
for a Lifetime :
The Design and Construction of Fully Accessible
Homes
by Margaret Wylde, Hardcover (January 1994) |
The
best single volume I've seen on designing a house
that works for you (not against you) throughout
your lifetime. Excellent information on decline
of strength and ability with age, and some excellent
ideas on making a "handicapped accessible home"
that looks like a thoughtfully designed home instead
of a hospital. Plenty of real-life examples, many
of them no more costly to implement than the standard
US housing market styles, and solid information
on remodeling to fit needs.
Written for the general public, not specialized
professions like architect, contractor, etc., it
is readable and practical. It is designed to help
you think through the possibilities rather than
offering cookbook solutions and plans.
It should also be required reading for church building
committee members, etc, though not officially addressing
churches and other public buildings. |
