ACCESSIBLE ARCHITECTURE: BEYOND THE RAMP – OCTOBER 2016 The above floor plan illustrates the lower level of the home containing Peter’s office, a suite with a bathroom and bedroom and the laundry room. As part of their strategy to age in place, the Faids wanted a lower-level suite, which could accommodate a live-in caregiver, with a separate entrance that opens out to the backyard. A counter with a sink, microwave, and small fridge, with space to accommodate a cooktop, provides independence for guests, visiting family or live-in caregivers. Triple glazed windows and high R- value insulation incorporate energy efficiency. An on-demand hot water system saves money and energy, as does the high efficiency furnace. 176
