Accessible House Plans

For people with special physical needs it is important to think of all the details that go into the design of a home. Accessible house plans concentrate on a barrier free design to help people with their day-to-day living. A ramp for the front of the house is just one of the elements needed to make a wheelchair accessible house plan. Most handicap accessible house plans are for one story homes. If accessible home plans are more than one story it is important to have an elevator.

An open floor plan is essential for wheelchair accessible house plans. Larger doorways and wider hallways make it easier to move from room-to-room or to turnaround in a wheelchair. Larger rooms such as closets and bathrooms are very important too. A roll-in shower is a common feature found in an accessible home plan.

Widening rooms and eliminating the need for steps are two important features of wheelchair accessible house plans, but the details in a home can be equally important. Light switches, door handles, windows, and countertop should be positioned so that they are easily reached. Garages should also be wide enough for a lift equipped van.
