Cover article of Daily Journal of Commerce - March 9, 2011

Check out the cover article about our Magnolia Mid-Mod project in Seattle in today's Daily Journal of Commerce. We are so happy that this project has brought attention to universal design.  Everyone that visits this house exclaims how they'd LOVE to live here because it is so LIVABLE while also being modern. That's a great compliment - and proof that well-designed accessible features do not detract from the architectural appeal. 

Big thanks to Lynn Porter for writing such a nice article!

Mock-up first for a perfect banquette, Round 2

TRIAL SOLUTION, ROUND 2:

The same set-up was rotated 90 degrees.  The idea was that no one would be stuck sitting next to the wall, need to get out, but have to make the person next to them move first (or go get their refill FOR them).  In this case, the width of the nook was not wide enough for a table big enough for two people to sit side-by-side on a bench on the back wall and still have a table wide enough for table settings, yet small enough to be able to get in and out with ease.  This nook is 5'-6" wide and 4'-2" deep.
