Your house can be "home" for a lifetime.
Universal Design by Hammer & Hand fits seamlessly into your home.
Open floor plans, generous step-less entries, spacious hallways, no-lip showers, varied counter heights, and roll-under sinks all remove barriers to the aging and the limitedly mobile and support independent, safe and happy home life. But barrier-free design also makes homes more convenient for all of us. It's good design.
We'll leverage extensive barrier-free construction experience, certified aging-in-place expertise, and our cadre of independent architects to ensure that the most impactful elements of Universal Design are applied to your home.
Make an appointment today with our Certified Age In Place Specialist (CAPS) to assess how best to retrofit your home to serve the evolving needs of you and your family.
