The Home for the Next 50 Years, designed and owned by John Salmen, AIA president of Universal Designers & Consultants, Inc., is a showcase for how universal design can be applied to an existing home to make it more convenient, comfortable and safe, allowing its occupants to age-in-place. “We eased the way people move around within the house, made the kitchen and bathrooms accessible and chose hardware and appliances for their efficiency, durability and ease of use.”
