Accessibility, Adaptability, Autonomy: In conversation with Tim Knowles of Pressalit
The significance of our dwellings in fostering a sense of safety, independence and comfort cannot be underestimated - and neither can their impact on our health, wellbeing and sense of self. This is perhaps even more compounded in accommodation designed for those with varying levels of mobility or disability. These homes should encourage a sense of autonomy and offer a reassuring notion of support in line with the needs, aspirations and desires of their residents, providing the flexibility ingrained in design that unequivocally prioritises the experience of the end users.
