PLUMMER T HALL HOUSE REMODEL

Client Profile

Our clients (the Williams) are a recently retired couple who want to age in this house. They love to entertain, and wanted a significant outdoor living space to entertain. They are also actively involved in the community, and the location makes it a great location for them to have easy access to downtown Raleigh. Mrs. Williams loves to garden, and the recent movement of the house to be further into the lots makes it very easy for her to garden in the front. They also wanted a house big enough for company during the holidays as they have 3 children, and a few grandchildren. Their youngest daughter lives with them in the house, because she will taking care of them as they age. Sasha is a young entrepreneur who has her own business at Cameron Village, and also works from home with her clients. She loves her daily 12 min walks to and from work, especially in the fall and spring. The Williams love the historic Queen Anne style of the house, and the history that comes with it. However, they do like a modern twist on their house and want to update the style a little.

Client Profile & Basic History

Design Concept

Universal Designs- We have to keep the front door and the entrance to the office at least 34” because of the historic purposes .But the open

entrance to the living room has a 5’ diameter, along with the entrance to the dining room. - We opened the wall from the dining room to the kitchen to create a wider entrance to fit a 5’ diameter.- The main hallway in the house has a distance of 4’8” and a motion sensor light along the hallway at night. - All interior and exterior doors have levers for easy access.- In order to help for an aging couple, we created a ramp at the back deck. - The Ramp is directly accessible from the car porch and is 24’ long.- In the laundry room, we added front load washer and dryer.

KITCHEN- We have made an easy access into the kitchen from the hallway and the dining room with a 5’ diameter entrance. - We added grab handles to every drawer and bottom shelf cabinet- We lowered all the countertops from a standard height of 36” to 32”.- We added levers to our faucets- We went with a dishwasher with drawers instead of a pull down door to make it accessible from a wheelchair- We have also added a Refrigerator with two doors, and doors underneath to help.- We added a drawer that can be pulled out to be used as a workspace.

MASTER BEDROOM /BATHROOM- We wanted the master bedroom to be the bedroom that would be great for an aging couple.

The entrance to the master Bedroom is big enough for a set of French doors, allowing the couple to easily enter and exit the room.

- We created the room to have enough space for several 5’ diameters. - We also added a platform queen bed to the room so that it will be easy to get in and out of bed.- We added outlets to the room to be no more than 18” from the floor.- The closet is an open walk- in closet with 46” of a distance from the wall to the closet shelf.- The Master Bathroom has a walk in shower for a potential wheelchair access.- The toilet has a horizontal grab bar with a 47” length, at least 36” from the finished floor.- The shower also has a horizontal grab bar 36” from the finished floor, and has a hand held shower.
