A semifinished basement became a "man cave" for a disabled homeowner and allowed him direct access from the garage. A lift was installed which allowed him to travel back and forth between the main living area and this newly designed space where his accessible bath was located. A four-foot-wide door provided entry into the tiled shower/toilet area. This project won first place in the 2008 Area Remodeling Excellence Awards in the Universal Design category.

The homeowner experienced a sudden change in mobility status and needed a totally accessible bathroom. She wanted the revised space to reflect the decor and style in the rest of the house, while avoiding an institutional look.
Result - a satisfied customer - and a First Place in the universal design category in a state-wide remodeling excellence award competition sponsored by the Greater Birmingham Association of Homebuilders! See another example.
