The document discusses the importance and benefits of universal design in housing. It provides an overview of the Sunderland House project, which serves as a case study and teaching lab for best practices in universal design. Some key points:
- By 2000, 1/3 of Americans will be disabled, chronically ill, or over 65 but less than 10% of homes can accommodate their needs.
- The aging baby boomer population will fuel growth in those over 55 from 59 to 97 million in the next 10 years.
- Universal design features increase usability for all ages and abilities and allow independent living.
- The Sunderland House project incorporates universal design principles through features like zero-step entry, lever handles, lowered counters and switches

Going Green Without the Greenbacks, 2011Eleanor Olsen
“Going Green Without the Greenbacks” presented by Eleanor Olsen, AKBD, principal of Total Spaces Design, is packed with tips to save you “greenbacks”, while “greening up” your home, and saving the planet. Eleanor’s seminar uses the example of a pitiful little house that most other General Contractors would consider a tear down to illustrate how it was turned into a charming cottage on a tiny budget. Total Spaces Design remodeled this house completely, on a very tight budget, using premium materials salvaged from Second Use, and a few other Earth saving salvage opportunities, sweat equity from the homeowner with how to tips along the way and Eleanor’s own unique brand of creativity.
Eleanor Olsen and Bruce Olsen of Total Spaces Design saved this tiny house from destruction, by implementing a "green" strategy to redo, update and increase the value. The results created a functional and darling home on an extreme budget. See how we did it.
A 750 sq ft Remodel illustrates step by step the green design choices in the strategic planning of a remodel project. Total Spaces Design shows how little cents it takes to make sense and still be green.
