Full accessibility starts at the wide, flat parking apron with ample space to unload a wheelchair and maneuver it into position.
Visitors approach the house on the level 4'-0" wide walkway. No ramp or steps here, thanks to enlightened planning.
Arriving at the entrance door, a clear 5'-0" diameter wheelchair turnabout space permits an easy and uninhibited change of direction
From the car, through the house to the courtyard, patio, pool and return, nothing higher than 3/8" to cross.
That's accessibility!
