Housing for the 21st century is changing. More than ever, it is necessary to design living space that meets the needs of all people, young, old, short, tall, disabled and able-bodied. There's an exciting design principle called Universal Design that helps achieve this objective. Using Universal Design and applying principles for affordable building techniques results in a product that serves a broad range of people.

A multimedia CD has been put together to demonstrate the basic principles of Universal Design. To request a copy of the Universal Design CD, contact us via email at udcd@vhda.com or view the web-optimized versions by selecting a link below.
