Jones, RA in January of 2011. Having offered services that include new home construction, remodeling and rentals since 2001 in the Atlanta Metro area, it seemed only natural to offer to clients the services of a Registered Architect.

by: Marla Renner Preface Building a home, for the average person, is something one can only wonder at. For a professional, it is second hand. No two homes are built exactly the same, but generally speaking, they are. Every home has a foundation, walls, ceilings, a roof, doors and windows, but have you ever wondered just how you go from raw land to the all important “certificate of occupancy”. This article is the second in a series of your “lesson” in building. by Marla Renner Building a home, for the average person, is something one can only wonder at.

Knowledge is a wonderful thing! http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs058/1102570283989/archive/1106185213344.html In the last two articles we gave a brief overview of what Universal Design and Aging in Place issues are all about as well as the differences between the two. In Part One of this series,we gave you a very brief idea of what Universal Design and Aging in Place is all about. We would like to expand upon that in this installment. The term Universal Design (UD) has a fairly broad scope. Aging in Place really is a portion of UD. The definition of Universal Design is;“The design of products and environments to be usable by all people,to the greatest extent possible,without the need for adaptation or specialized design”. The intent is that anyone … tall,short,young,old,obese,blind,deaf,partially impaired,severely impaired,mentally challenged,etc.,can use the space or product without any special adaptation or special knowledge and so that in the future,no matter which of those categories someone fits into,the house will be suitable without major modifications. Flexibility of use is the main idea. |       |
