ACCESSIBLE HOUSING

The need for accessible housing is becoming more apparent with an increasing population and higher life expectancy. Federal laws like the Fair Housing Act require certain new housing to be accessible and useable by people with disabilities. Creating and implementing universal design standards for accessible housing is a integral component when constructing the built environment of the future.

ACCESSIBILITY

Accessible Housing: Dwellings that meet the needs of the physically disabled

Interpretations of how those needs can be met vary somewhat across localities, but generally require barrier-free, adaptable design in both common areas and individual units.

More than 13% of the American population is over 65. By 2030, that number will grow to nearly 20%.

However, accessible housing isn’t just for seniors. Anyone who has physical disabilities, a traumatic brain injury or any type of mobility impairment would benefi t from accessible housing.

SITE & PLANNING

The layout for this neighborhood was derived from the idea that this would be an inclusive walk-able community, creating accessible housing for people of all ages and types of disabilities. With a community center located centrally on the site, residents would have access to the community amenities which would include a recreational center, a pharmacy, multi functional offi ce space for doctors and other types of wellness functions, and shuttle access.

HOUSING DESIGNS

Diversification was a vital component in the overall composition of the community. By creating various housing types and orienting them in an irregular pattern, the neighborhood as a whole is able to have a distinct architectural character.
