Accessibility is important because it makes your life easier not only when you grow older, but also when you break your leg or even when you feel a little dizzy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should an accessible house fulfill?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unobstructed access (no steps or steep slopes)<\/li>\n<li>Aisles width of more than 80cm<\/li>\n<li>Neutral colors<\/li>\n<li>Access and well-lit interior<\/li>\n<li>Sliding doors<\/li>\n<li>Embedded handles<\/li>\n<li>Lateral access to the 80cm minimum bed<\/li>\n<li>The height of the bed is smaller than 58cm<\/li>\n<li>Bathroom and walk-in shower<\/li>\n<li>Access to shower of 80 cm minimum<\/li>\n<li>Odorless seat less than 48cm<\/li>\n<li>Shower with seat<\/li>\n<li>Manual shower head<\/li>\n<li>Sink with maximum height of 85cm and bottom space of 75cm<\/li>\n<li>Lavatory faucets with lever system<\/li>\n<li>Kitchen with a maximum height of 80cm and a bottom space of 75cm<\/li>\n<li>Kitchen cabinets with height between 40 and 140cm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much does an accessible house cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our <a href=\"https:\/\/era.archi\">architecture studio in Barcelona<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/era.archi\">ERA architects<\/a> we collaborate with local wheelchair manufacturers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/karmamobility.es\/\">Karma mobility<\/a> that have ergonomic chairs design. Thanks to their advice, we have proven that a new small house of 50m2 with simple accessibility in entrance, corridors and bathroom, can cost\u00a0 \u20ac 1,000 more than a standard house.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a house with universal accessibility with gadgets also in kitchen, closets &#8230; then count \u20ac 5,000 more onward.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In our <a href=\"https:\/\/era.archi\">architecture studio in Barcelona<\/a> ERA architects, we recommend making accessible houses that take care of you and pamper you when you need it.<\/p>\n<p>You may check out our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/casaapp.net\/crea-tu-casa\/\">online house editor<\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/casaapp.net\">CasaAPP <\/a>to see prices and types of passive houses in 3D.
