Accessible Handicap House Plans

Modern ADA Handicapped Accessible Floor Plans

ADA-compliant homes are more accessible for people with disabilities. You have easier access to electrical components, counters, doors and other areas of the home. The home plans are designed to cater to those with physical disabilities, allowing everyone in the family to live together more simply and easily. The homes are usually single story, but you may also find two-story accessible plans with some bedrooms upstairs and the more important areas downstairs.

An accessible home looks the same as any other house on the outside. In fact, it has the same features that you'd expect in any home: windows, doors, porches and so on. Those who are bound to wheelchairs and other mobility devices will benefit from graded walkways and larger entryways. One- and two-story homes are available in many different styles and architectural types, including Cape Cod, traditional, ranch and bungalow. Some common exterior features of these homes may include:

• Hip and gabled roofs
• Exposed, decorative beams
• Grand chimneys
• Large front porches
• Numerous windows for natural lighting

An accessible home starts to look a bit different than a typical home on the inside. It has an open concept in which the rooms flow easily from one another. It will also have fewer walls, preventing them from obstructing movement and view. In two-story homes, a majority of the bedrooms are located upstairs, and all the necessary features are available downstairs for easier accessibility. Some common interior features of an accessible home include:

• Lowered counters
• Grab bars
• Roll-in showers
• An island kitchen
• Wider doorways
• Spacious bathrooms

Are ADA Homes the Right Fit for You?

If you're someone who has trouble with mobility or physical disabilities that restrict your movement, choosing an accessible home plan is the right choice. Keep in mind that not all home plans meet ADA compliance. You may have to work with your builder to customize the plan for your specific needs. Floor plans that already meet ADA-compliant standards can also be customized if you like the overall style but prefer a different layout.
