Design options for barrier-free and adaptable housing
This publication, which is divided into two parts, provides design information that will enable developers to make informed decisions on accessibility. Part I of the document describes the architectural characteristics of barrier-free and adaptable housing and outlines criteria for building components and dwelling units. In all, it contains 33 themes, 31 of which focus on multi-family housing, small residential units, the dwelling unit and common elements. The last two themes deal with special issues: meeting special needs; and home automation. Part 2 of the study presents an estimation of costs generated by the barrier-free and adaptable features described in Part 1 of this document. The objective is to indicate the possible range of these costs, so as to enable a developer to make a summary evaluation of the impact that barrier-free elements have on the construction cost of his project. In order to facilitate the referencing of the design elements described in Part 1, the costs are presented under the theme headings and the numbering system corresponds to the features described. The two parts can thus be easily consulted in parallel.

"Provides design information that will enable developers to make informed decisions on the integration of barrier-free and adaptable housing concepts into their projects. The first part introduces the concept of barrier-free and adaptable housing and describes its client groups; provides guidance on adapting the proposed designs to a housing project; and describes the architectural characteristics of barrier-free and adaptable housing, outlining performance criteria for building components and dwelling units. This part includes information on corridors, stairs, access, parking, fire safety, individual rooms, doors, lighting, windows, flooring, and home automation. The second part is a cost estimate study including a costing methodology and tables of cost estimates corresponding to themes outlined in the technical section of the first part."@en
