All the homes here incorporate “universal design”, an idea conceived by the late architect Ron Mace who founded and directed The Center for Universal Design at North Carolina State University (www.design.ncsu.edu/cud). In this concept, elements are chosen which, while aesthetically pleasing, function for the greatest variety of people.
