It looks like universal design is the current hot topic - this article is the second one in a week to discuss "aging in place" - and the rubber flooring in the kitchen of our 12th Street Residence seems to be a favorite.

Hammering away

Apr 4, 2017 by Hiromi Ogawa

You know it's a special house when the littlest member of the family is inspired to pick up a hammer and get busy. Sucharitha captured this photo at a recent jobsite meeting at our Yerba Santa Avenue Residence. So cute!

Rough electrical and plumbing are in place, and soon the drywall will go up. More updates soon!

Featured on Houzz: What to Look For in a House if You Plan to Age in Place

Apr 3, 2017 by Hiromi Ogawa

We are working with many clients that want universal design features - layout, details, and materials that allow aging and disabled homeowners to continue to live at home - and we are honored to be featured in a Houzz article that highlights this growing priority. While the 12th Street Residence homeowners did not request universal design, the rubber flooring  in their kitchen does provide a low-maintenance, slip-resistance surface that works well for everyone living there.
