Services — Aging in Place & Universal Design
Aging in Place & Universal Design
The best accessible design is invisible. Wide doorways, curbless showers, thoughtful lighting, and reachable storage feel like generous design — until the day they become essential. LEAP integrates universal-design principles into every home, so you can stay in the place you love for as long as you want to.
Design for every decade
A home should work for a toddler learning to walk and a grandparent recovering from a fall. Universal design plans for both without looking like either.
Retrofits done gracefully
First-floor primary suites, no-threshold entries, elevator-ready shafts, reinforced blocking for future grab bars — many upgrades cost far less if planned early.
Aligned with our accessibility values
Our own office is wheelchair-accessible, and every home we design gets the same care.
Frequently asked questions
Is this only for older adults?
No. Multi-generational families, clients recovering from injury, and clients who simply want a home that will still fit them in 30 years all benefit.
Will it look institutional?
Not with us. Every accessibility move is designed into the architecture, not bolted on afterward.
Do you work with occupational therapists?
Happily. If you have an OT on your team, we'll coordinate directly with them.
