Lifetime Homes

Design and planning considerations

As part of Bounce design approach it endeavours to implement and adopt at minimum Lifetime Homes as a set of design criteria to ensure that designs for its projects implement a set of ideas and outcomes that provide accessible, adaptable, and easily visitable projects much of the scope is covered in Approved Document M: access to and use of buildings, volume 1: dwellings:

  1. Inclusive Design: should be designed to meet the needs of a wide range of people, including those with disabilities, older people, and families with young children.
  2. Flexibility and Adaptability: should be designed to be adaptable over time to meet changing needs, such as the addition of a stairlift or the conversion of a bedroom into an accessible bathroom.
  3. Accessibility: should be designed to provide level access into and through the home, with at least one entrance providing level access.
  4. Space and Layout: should be designed with adequate space and layout to accommodate the needs of all occupants, including those with disabilities.
  5. Storage: should provide adequate storage for mobility aids and other equipment.
  6. Bathroom and Kitchen: should be designed with bathrooms and kitchens that are accessible to all occupants, with features such as lever taps, low-level switches and sockets, and clear space for wheelchair access.
  7. Communication: should be designed with features that promote communication and social interaction, such as clear lines of sight between living areas and the ability to open windows and doors easily.
  8. Energy and Water Efficiency: should be designed to be energy and water efficient, with features such as low-energy lighting, insulation, and water-saving devices.

By meeting these requirements, our design approach can provide comfortable and accessible living spaces that can adapt to the changing needs of occupants over time.
