Residential Home Design
Here is a synopsis of the video that you can use for a YouTube description: **Accessible Farmhouse Design: Zero-Entry Living with Colin Healy** In this video, designer Colin Healy of Colin Healy Design showcases a unique home project in Fairfield County that masterfully blends traditional farmhouse aesthetics with modern accessibility. This "nearing completion" project demonstrates that a home can be both beautiful and functional for aging-in-place without the need for unsightly ramps. **Key Features & Highlights:** * **Zero-Entry Design:** The entire first floor is designed to be fully accessible using "zero-entry" techniques. The garage floor and the wraparound porch are at the exact same level, allowing for seamless entry into the home. * **Dual Access Points:** There are two primary ways to enter the home without steps: through the garage (directly into the main level) or via the porch doors, which are flush with the floor. * **Aesthetic & Practical Architecture:** The home features a barn-shaped structure that houses a three-car garage and a deep workshop, paired with a main house featuring a three-sided wraparound porch. * **Aging-in-Place Planning:** Built for a homeowner in his 70s, the design includes "future-proof" features like pre-installed blocking in bathroom walls for grab bars. This ensures safety can be added easily when needed without extra construction costs later. * **Indoor-Outdoor Connection:** The south-facing side of the house includes sliding glass doors that lead to a sunny porch, carefully positioned to maximize natural light and appreciate the surrounding landscape. **The Takeaway:** Effective home design is about "transforming homes for transforming lives." By planning ahead, homeowners can create a space that offers safety and accessibility for the future while maintaining the beauty and style of their dream home today. **Watch the video here:** [https://youtu.be/_p60qPwNFE4?si=XukGnkG1w_6BKBxq](https://youtu.be/_p60qPwNFE4?si=XukGnkG1w_6BKBxq)
