Sunken Bungalow - built accessible in 1997

The levered door handle helps with ease of access, but the sunken concrete is an issue that may have been avoided by waiting a little longer for the ground to settle before pouring.

The plate covering the front door threshhold makes access easier, but is not ideal as the screws to hold the plate down loosen over time, and there is still a lip to get over.

The driveway is sloped to the garage, but improperly poured concrete has sunk, making wheelchai access from the left hand side of the door difficult.

This coded keypad, set at a height that works for the homeowner can give easy access to an alternate entrance. Much easier than fiddling with keys!

Acreage Bungalow - Built in 2007

The wide front door adds to the accessibility of the home, but the lip at the door plate can be challenging for someone with limited arm mobility, as well as for someone carrying parcels or bags on their lap.

Spaious front entrance with laminate flooring

The door to the back deck hosts a fairly significant drop onto the deck, which is not a huge issue for the homeowner, but could pose an accessibilty problem for someone with less mobility.

The ramp to the parking lot is very steep. Much too steep for any modified vehicles with a lowered floor.

The ramp going from the entrance to the sidewalk is badly broken, and much steeper than a regulation wheeling ramp.

A peep hole at an advantageous height.

The hallway to the entrance door could prove difficult for someone with limited hand function to open, but it works well for the homeowner.

This bungalow was built in 2013. The walkway and driveway are concrete. Entrance can be made through the garage as well.

The front door entrance uses a commercial plate for easy access. This works well for the homeowner.

Both the master bedroom and the dining room can be accessed from the back deck.

Impressive foyer area for waiting guests.

Underground parking is an excellent option for avoiding winter snow drifts or summer rain storms.

The lip at the entrance for the back patio was too deep, As a solution, a portable wedge ramp was constructed.

The condo owner has a mailbox along the bottom row. No need for outdoor trips to collect the mail.

This 1967 built bungalow was renovated accessible between 1985 and 1990.

The outdoor lift leads from the concrete walkway to the front landing. This alleviates the room required to install a ramp to code.
