At BOLD Construction, we believe your home should support your lifestyle—today and in the years to come. That’s why we offer universal design, or Aging-in-Place design, for our new construction builds. And we keep universal design ideas in mind on our renovation projects. Our goal is to make it easier to remain in your home comfortably and safely, no matter your age or mobility.

What Does Universal Design Mean?

Universal design is about designing a home that adapts to your changing needs over time. We want your home to be comfortable and usable by all, regardless of age or ability. Whether you’re planning for retirement, accommodating health changes, or simply looking to create a more accessible space, we can help you build or renovate with your future in mind.

How We Incorporate Universal Design Into Our Homes

We take a thoughtful approach to every project, combining functionality with beauty. Here’s how we help:

  • Accessible Flow: We work with clients to be conscious of steps at each entrance. We design our homes with wider hallways and wide doorways. It’s very easy to make your doorways a few inches wider during design, but very difficult to change once a home has been built. Our goal is barrier-free pathways to make your home easy to navigate for all.

  • Safe, Comfortable Bathrooms: A curbless shower in the primary bathroom is standard in a BOLD custom home. We encourage clients to use comfort-height toilets and slip-resistant flooring, we make bathrooms safer without sacrificing style. We can also install blocking for future grab bars, or install grab bars when desired. 

  • User-Friendly Kitchens: We incorporate features like pull-out shelves, under-cabinet lighting, and easy-to-use appliances to make daily routines more manageable.

  • Future-Proof Floor Plans: Open layouts and main-floor living options make it easier to adapt your home to future mobility needs.
