Guide Launch

The Blackwood Design Guide sets out to promote development of highly accessible homes. It contains a framework of principles and recommendations which optimise solutions at home for a wide range of disability, mobility, and complex health conditions. The home may simply enable an individual customer to live independently without additional support, or it may be part of a housing with care development where support is required for customers to remain living within the community rather than in an institution.

The Blackwood House seeks to deliver effective use of space, light, and technology, to assist and encourage independent living in a contemporary and homely environment. The added bonus is that it is flexible and adaptable for the future as needs change over time.
