Kitchen Garden Designs
Senior Citizen Self-Designed Retirement Home?
If you had the chance to help design a new group home for the over-50 set, with minimal medical, but still a safe place, what would you like to add to the house? Assuming we have a nice kitchen and other basics, for our age group, what would be great?
Garage for you guys to do your car work in? Small dance floor for parties? How about a garden (ok, that’s for me!) And a sun roof, definately eco-friendly too.
um, keep it clean – we don’t want the kids to see!
These are so GREAT!!
hmmm, First off, attention to details would be important to me. Are the plumbing fixtures easy to use, door knobs easy to operate. Are the halls and walkways wide and free from clutter? Are there adequate handrails? Are the storage spaces easy to reach? Are smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide detectors well placed and operational? Are the floors level, and free of hazards like uneven surfaces or edges of rugs? Is it easy to maneuver in the bathrooms?
I love your idea for a garden; how about adding some garden furniture and places to hangout in the garden-garden paths, tables and chairs, lights, maybe even a gazebo or covered porch/patio.
Internet access; maybe a router so several people could do email or surf the internet at once.
A combination game room, library, music room. A room with tables and chairs, where people could congregate to play games, share books and magazines, and maybe sing or play musical instruments or listen to cds.
A combination crafting and workshop space. Include benches, tables, cabinets, easals, and maybe even display shelves. Good overhead and task lighting.
Your ideas seem like fun, good luck!
