Winner of the First Design for the 3-Bedroom Wheelchair Accessible House Plan

This floor plan was the design our clients preferred, but it needs to be modified.  Please read on and give suggestions if you have any good ideas. 

Why they chose this design:

• Liked how the kitchen faced the outside and because there is a door close to the kitchen that will go to their patio.  They grill almost everyday and having easy access to the grill from the kitchen is important to them.

The second choice:

 

Why they chose this design:

• Liked the master bathroom.

• Liked the kitchen. 

   The Design they chose will need to be altered, it is not completely accessible. 

  
  
  

   Issues with this design:

  • Need bathtub in master bathroom.
  • Master bedroom closet is 5' wide which is enough for a wheelchair to turn around but not for a rack of clothes on each side of the closet,  master bedroom closet needs to be 9' wide.
  • Family does not want toilet in utility room.
  • Garage needs to have 2-12' doors and face the east so there won't be as much as an issue with snow build-up in the winter.
  • Only 4' between kitchen cabinets and island, needs to be a minimum of 5' to allow wheelchair access.
  • Family doesn't care about having a formal dining room, would like to have more storage for food from kitchen.
  • Need a wood stove to heat house included in plan. 
  • Family currently has a sunroom full of plants and would like a sunroom for plants in their new house as well.
