Houses should be designed for simple and barrier-free use, low physical effort, but as well for full accessibility, flexibility and adaptability. It is important to take into account the Universal Design. Its intention is to simplify life for everyone by making products, communications and the built environment usable by as many people as possible. It helps to eliminate the need for special features and spaces.
To measure whether a building is fully accessible, four levels of accessibility are distinguished, according to Dr. Marc Dujardin: reach, enter, use, understand.
“Universal Design is an approach to design that incorporates products as well as building features which, to the greatest extent possible, can be used by everyone.“
