The Winners of ZeroThreshold Design Competition -- Part 3

NCCH Design Challenge Aimed At Creating Most Innovative, Visually Appealing And Forward-Thinking Barrier-Free Designs For Living 

Most Innovative Interior Architecture : All Access Home

While "Interior Architecture" was not initially a category, the design details and innovation of the All Access Home caught the jurors' attention. 

The integration of ramping throughout the home, the focus on details and the activity of daily living (from cubbies for storage to an innovative solution for taking out the trash) made the design stand out. 

The use of differing elevations within the home also created opportunities for wheelchair users to experience different perspectives and eye levels when interacting with others. 

These are changes in perspective that those who can easily vary their stance height might take for granted. 

Julia McMorrough, an Associate Professor at Taubman College in MI won $3,000 for her design.
