Interior Design & Architectural Project Info
Accessibility in the bedroom is crucial to promote independent living, especially for individuals with mobility challenges or disabilities. Prioritizing accessibility in bedroom design fosters a sense of independence and enhances the quality of life for all occupants.
Client requested to renovate the existing living hall in their bungalow house and convert it into an accessible bedroom. The client’s requirement is to make the room her safe space with features similar to a studio apartment unit. It has a built-in island bed design incorporated with a functional bed head, an accessible wardrobe with sufficient width for wheelchair turning radius.
This unit also has an open toilet concept positioned close to the bed and pantry area, an accessible pantry and fridge, and a husband’s working zone. There is also a spacious TV area complete with a sofa. The priority is given to ensure that critical zoning and pathways are accessible for wheelchair turning movements.
This project features a wider door size that open outwards, and switches at an accessible height of 1000mm. We also encourage the client to use smart switch devices that can connect with apps and remote controls to minimize travel. Hand rails, horizontal and vertical grab bars are installed for ease of movement and to minimize chances for accidents to occur.
