The best single volumeI'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.
Buildings well-designed to meet the needs of people with various disabilities are also well-designed to meet the needs of people withoutdisabilities.This book will help you do just that.
