What is universal
design
In architecture, universal design means creating
spaces that meet the needs of all people, young and
old, able and disabled.
From the arrangement of the rooms to the choice of
colors, many details go into the creation of
accessible spaces.
No matter how beautiful, your home will not be
comfortable or appealing if you cannot move freely
through its rooms and independently perform the
basic tasks of life. Even if everyone in the family is
able-bodied, a sudden accident or the long-term
effects of illness can create mobility problems, visual
and auditory impairments, or cognitive decline.

5. 4THCOFFEE
Designing for the blind is one example of universal
design.
Your dream home may have spiral staircases and
balconies with sweeping views, but will it be usable
by and accessible for everyone in your family?

State University, has established seven overarching principles for all
universal design:
1. Equitable Use
2. Flexibility in Use
3. Simple and Intuitive Use
4. Perceptible Information (e.g., color contrast)
5. Tolerance for Error
6. Low Physical Effort
7. Size and Space for Approach and Use
