UNIVERSAL APPEAL
When the homeowners needed a private,
wheelchair-accessible living space in their new
home, they asked Bonnie J. Lewis to design one
that was beautiful yet masculine. The designer
created an ADA-compliant space that offers
wheelchair accessibility and incorporated
memory care design techniques to eliminate
sources of dementia-related confusion and
provide visual orientation assistance.
The designer inserted a new curbless shower
and a slip-resistant mosaic tile floor to provide
safe, easy access and maneuverability. She
added a fold-down shower seat, grab bars, ADA-
compliant toilet, wheelchair-accessible vanity
with an ADA-compliant faucet, under-mount sink,
and easy-access storage. A matching linen
closet features roll-out shelves and loop cabinet
pulls, while wide doorways and slip-resistant
luxury vinyl plank flooring provides safe, easy
wheelchair movement for the resident. Abundant
lighting and contrasting finish colors, including
the toilet seat, provide dementia support, and a
"memory wall" is designed to trigger positive
memories. – N.F.M.
