About this title

Synopsis

Covers exteriors, doorways, halls, bathrooms, kitchens, and closets, explains how to build to reduce maintenance, and offers designs for barrier-free homes

Reviews

Barrier-free housing design allows a person with any sort of limited mobility, curtailed dexterity, or a sight/hearing problem to live alone successfully without feeling institutionalized. Branson, a former building trades contractor, describes permanent as well as "adaptable" features which may be adjusted as needs change. Naturally, emphasis is on the important areas: bathrooms, kitchens, halls, doors, and stairs. For those building anew, this guide is strong and offers suggestions even the nonhandicapped person might use to improve house safety. The book is less useful, however, for those remodeling with limited resources or faced with short-term mobility problems.
