2010 Livable Communities Awards

The owners won't occupy the home immediately. Rather, they plan to rent it until they retire. Neither owner currently has issues with mobility, but in these photos they and their daughter take a "test drive" through the house to demonstrate its newfound accessibility. — Text by Michael Chotiner; Photographs by Jay L.

2010 Livable Communities Awards
PASADENA, CALIF.

Category Winner for Major Space Remodel

The owners of the home shown in these photos asked CAPS interior designer Jeannine Clark of Mannigan Design Inc. to adapt the spaces so they could age comfortably in place there after they retired. Within a mile of a large hospital and within walking distance to shops and public transportation, the home was perfect for the purpose. The many beautiful alterations to the home reflect universal design standards.
