RETAILOBSERVER.COM JULY 2021 40 U N I V E R S A L D E S I G N — E N T I R E H O U S E REMODELING DESIGNS, INC. MIAMISBURG, OHIO This client is a polio survivor who uses her motorized wheelchair full-time. As her home's stair lift became challenging to use, she needed the flexibility to more easily navigate her main floor and transfer between the main floor and basement. Now an all-glass elevator provides access to all levels. The open floor plan is easier to maneuver and includes an expanded kitchen with wider traffic flow, an extended island, and a roll-in pantry. The half bath includes a sink that the owner can roll up to, and a straight path to the commode. A larger concrete front porch and ramp now provide additional barrier-free access into and out of the home.

Water intrusion was an understatement. "He" wanted to solve the drainage issue and have a garage capable of housing multiple cars, motorcycles, and a workshop, and thought, "Why not add an outdoor kitchen?" "She" was tired of having a pond for a pool and thought, "Oh yeah, why not add a guest quarters?" After much consideration of a remodel, a new structure was deemed necessary. The new structure features a guest house with pool bath, guest quarters, garage and a fabulous outdoor kitchen. 2021 COTY AWARDS PART 2
