Universal Design More on Universal Design Christine Fortenberry subscribes to the principles of Universal Design, an approach to designing living spaces that can be used by people of any culture, race, gender, weight, size, ability, and life stage. For example, wider hallways accommodate baby strollers or wheelchairs, lever door handles are easier to open for people carrying packages, step-free entrances provide easy access for all, roll-out shelves in base cabinets allow for easy access to contents. Universal Design features, while virtually “invisible” in appearance, increase a home’s value and enhance its beauty and function. She will work hard at designing features which will bring life to your vision of your new home. Christine’s knowledge of handicap housing and her knowledge of Universal Design bring compassion and concern for the needs of a customer today as well as a vision of the needs of the customer in the years to come.
