Pressestimmen
"Jordan, Wendy A. Universal Design for the Home: Great-Looking, Great-Living Design for All Ages, Abilities, & Circumstances. Quarry: Quayside. Feb. 2008. c.203p. illus. index. ISBN 978-1-59253-381-7. pap. $24.99."
INTERIOR DESIGN "Universal design" as defined by architect Ron Mace, who coined the phrase, 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." Jordan (Making Room: Finding Space in Unexpected Places) shows how a home that is accommodating to all can also have a stylish decor. Some 15 newly built or renovated homes are featured, for which Jordan explains the inhabitantsa lifestyles and physical challenges. Color photographs and some before-and-after floor plans show how accessibility standards have been incorporated. A list of resources is provided. Since few books address how to make a home barrier-free without creating an institutionalized look, this book is recommended for all public libraries.

Kurzbeschreibung
"Universal Design for the Home" features a blend of beautiful projects, creative ideas, and substantive planning information. Highly visual, the book features projects showing room contexts, as well as detail shots. The mix of projects encompasses small and large houses; one-story and multi-story houses; and ideas for general accessibility and comfort as well as some targeted more directly at handicap accessibility. There is an emphasis on remodelled projects, but new homes designed with an eye toward accessibility - present and future - are included as well. Chapters cover the spectrum of accessible home planning, from room arrangements to kitchens, baths, entries, and exterior areas. The book displays fresh, inspiring design ideas as well as must-have, good-sense solutions, such as wider doorways. Basic specifications, how-top tips, and other technical content are featured throughout the book in easy-to-find boxes and sidebars.

Thoughtful & Thorough Universal Design Home Guide
16. Juni 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
What a tremendous step forward from prior universal design home building/remodeling books. It inspires as it educates the reader about the pragmatic sensibility of this concept. Plentiful, excellent color photography and diagrams backup the top-notch content. Designer Wendy Jordan goes far beyond the functional basics to provide a smart guide to great design that works to everyone's advantage. Her helpful "great idea", "spotlight" and "universal specs" move the reader around all the important home design zones and deliver very important lessons on creating smart living spaces for a much broader range of users while anticipating future needs, be it aging or disability.

Woderful resource for everyone
17. Februar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is a fabulous resource for anyone building or remodeling a home. It demonstrates, both in words and photographs, why universal design is a great idea for anyone, not just people with physical limitations. Who wouldn't want to live in one of the houses pictured in this book? Wider doorways and halls, more efficient and better designed appliances, no threshold to trip over when entering your house--these are all great ideas for all of us. Use this book for yourself, give it to your architect or builder, you will not be sorry.

great inspiration and wonderful ideas
16. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
in working with a housing group producing housing for the disabled we purchased this book to work with our architect, and to inspire ourselves, as well. I find this all encompassing, inclusive of nearly all disabilities, and that is encouraging. It is easy to read, well organized and has high production values. The reason for the star off is that nearly everything was produced with very high-end materials, and many in my group have difficulty visualizing more affordable materials and techniques, so this has limited the utility of the book for us. As I have counseled others to look beyond the marble and granite this and stainless-steel that, we have been able to come up with affordable options. I think this book was remiss in neglecting to recall that many disabled folks are not going to be able to afford the most expensive option. Also there are greener options than are often shown here, but that can be in the next book.
