What is Universal Design ? Roberts says
“Universal design is all about making a home comfortable and safe for everyone”
“Approaching universal design with a client can raise eyebrows, I can’t say ‘wow you’re getting old, i think you need grab bars’ But I do ask a lot of questions about their needs and concerns, and most people have them, they may not have an older or disabled person in the family, but they might have a toddler or visiting grandparent”
