A growing percentage of Baby Boomers nearing
retirement want to continue to live in their current homes. Modifying
your home to accomodate expected or unplanned life changes is a trend
called "Fixing to Stay" or "Aging in Place". With that in mind, you
would benefit greatly to consider the "Universal Design Principles." A
well planned first floor master suite addition could be adaptable to
your changing health care needs without imposing an institutional
appearance. The current trend in upscale architecture towards open,
airy spaces lends itself well to the Universal Design principles. With
a talented designer, form and function can unite rather than clash.
This means bathrooms, kitchens, master suites, and entrances are
blessed with unseen features that fit your future.
