2. INTRODUCTION UNIVERSAL DESIGN is important because it accommodates everyone – Young, Old, Able & Disabled – and in this case, a wife that would be confined to a wheelchair, and a tall, able bodied husband (Dan & Wanda Rathbun). This project was especially important because we wanted to help Dan and Wanda realize a vision for their home that accommodated each of their specific needs. Both wanting comfort, convenience, accessibility and beauty. The Rathbun Residence was designed to incorporate all of this using Universal (Aging-in-Place), ADA and Green Design principles, creating a comfortable, luxurious and non-institutional environment. A very special thanks go to all involved in the design and implementation of the Rathbun Residence: DWAYNE CHEN – Partner/Purchasing LEAH SMITH-DONATH – Design Assistant MAGDI REZKALLA – Builder/General Contractor RUSSELL “SKIP” HANSON – Electrical Contractor DAN SHEPPARD – Landscape Contractor
