<p>Building for a Lifetime signals an important change that is taking place in the way we design, build and remodel houses.  Traditionally designed houses work well for young, able-bodied adults, but not so well for people who are injured, chronicially ill or simply aging.  With houses designed and built to accommodate change, people of all ages and abilities can enjoy an independent and satisfying life without having to move.

Whether you're planning a new house or undertaking a small-scale remodeling project, this book will inspire and inform you.
