Why Universal Design? It makes
your home more livable, regardless of age, size or ability.
What makes it different? Wider door openings, step-less
entrances, elevated sidewalks along with an open plan design, makes
moving into and around your home much easier. Universal Design Home
offers a barrier-free home.
What changes will there be from a normal home? Most of the
changes are subtle and won’t be noticed until you start living in
your home and experience the ease of movement. The list below
outlines some of the critical elements of a Universal Design Home
that Sterling Homes & Land incorporates into your new home:
