Home Design: Architectural Solutions for the Wheelchair User (Second Edition), offers innovative yet practical solutions for achieving independence. The authors, Thomas D. Davies, Jr., AIA and Carol Peredo Lopez, AIA have collaborated with hundreds of wheelchair users on home modification via their

accessibility needs.
While the book will serve as an ideal resource for homeowners with disabilities and their families, the technical information contained within will provide important insights on home design and construction for builders and architects, as well. On the one hand, the book conveys how to design an accessible project. It includes descriptions of wheelchair users’ techniques for performing daily activities such as opening a door or transferring into a shower. On the other hand, technical information takes the form of design details (such as recommended knee-space heights or door widths) or material characteristics (wheelchair travel over crushed oyster shell paths, for example).
Among the topics covered by the chapters are “Adding Elevators or Lifts" and “Choosing the Right Doors." To order a copy of Accessible Home Design, Second Edition, call toll free 1-888-860-7244.
