    Designing just the right place 2 months ago

    I am an architecture student and this is one of my dreams, I don’t know if I’ll ever work as en Architect but I really would like to design my own home.

    Mud room and nursery 3 months ago

    Since I keep having babies of some sort living in my tiny laundry room, I know my dream home has to have a large mud room with features that will allow it to house baby chicks, puppies, lambs and kids, and who knows what else.

    The mud room will have to accomodate

    • Washer, drier, hanger space, cabinets
    • Place to put mucky boots
    • Waterproof – may need to hose down
    • Hose bib
    • Automatic animal waterer
    • Divider(s) so can wall off sections for babies
    • Overhead scaffolding to hang heat lamp chains from
    • Lots of GFI electrical outlets at table height
    • Seats
    • Closet for coats and storage
    • bath with small shower

    Dream home; can I figure out how to make it a reality?

    Accessible Design 3 months ago

    So if this is really my dream home, then maybe we will be living in it even when we are 100 years old… so some ideas on Accessible Design

    • Large frameless mirror that can tilt
    • Low vanity that can accomodate wheel chair
    • Higher vanity for standing at
    • Walk in shower with opening big enough to accomadate walker and wheel chair – no threshold – two shower heads – one “european” style hand held shower head
    • Large, easy to grasp drawer pulls
    • Wider doorways – standard are 30” but 36” is more accessible
    • zero thresholds – seemless transitions from room to room
    • wheelchair needs 60” diameter to turn around in
    • consider placement of light switches and electric outlets
    • seat in shower
    • low and high towel bars, robe hooks, etc.
    • towel bars that are strong enough to be hand grabs
    • towel cabinets without doors
    • water proof whole bathroom so can be “hosed down” if needed
    • don’t use real stone tile as it must be sealed and cared for – look for ceramic tile that looks like stone
