Accessible home design (PMR): comfort, safety, and aesthetics
Adapting a home doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Whether you’re planning for aging in place or responding to a mobility or disability situation, we design spaces that are accessible, safe, and elegant. Our mission is to remove architectural barriers while creating an interior that feels good to live in—anywhere in France.
Who is it for? When should you adapt a home?
PMR/accessibility requests often involve:
- Someone who wants to stay at home safely (fall prevention, simplified access).
- A parent or loved one who will be living in the home (or returning after hospitalization).
- Reduced mobility—temporary or long-term (rehab, accident, progressive condition).
What we do to make a home accessible
We address the key pressure points in a home so everyday actions become simple, fluid, and safe. The goal is twofold: independence and comfort, without compromising the look.
Circulation: wider passages, obstacle removal, turning clearances, optimized routes.
Ergonomics: adapted heights (kitchen, vanity), handles, reachable switches/sockets, transfer zones.
Floors & thresholds: non-slip finishes, reduced level changes, continuity between rooms.
Lighting & safety: clearer lighting, secured risk areas, comfortable ambiance without glare.
Accessible bathroom: maximum safety, “spa” finish
Bathrooms are often the highest-risk area. We redesign them to reduce falls and simplify use, while keeping a premium, understated look.
Essentials of a well-designed accessible bathroom
- Walk-in shower: level access, no step, with a clean glass screen.
- Integrated supports: discreet grab bars, premium fold-down seat, ergonomic taps.
- Quality materials: natural stone, refined detailing, premium non-slip floors.
Accessibility in heritage homes: Paris, Le Perche longères, character properties
Adapting a Haussmann apartment in Paris or a Perche longère requires real expertise. We don’t “add” solutions—we integrate them into the existing character.
- Access: discreet ramps, reworked thresholds, simplified entry sequences.
- Vertical circulation: stairlifts or private lifts integrated cleanly (without damaging the spirit of the place).
- Storage: bespoke joinery to clear circulation while keeping the space calm and elegant.
Support and compliance: MaPrimeAdapt’ and eligibility
As part of our mission, we help frame a project that is coherent and aligned with typical compliance requirements for certain support schemes, including MaPrimeAdapt’. A properly designed project makes the need clearer and execution smoother.
We redesign accessible spaces across France
Paris, Le Perche, the French Riviera—or elsewhere: we work nationwide through our organization and coordination with qualified contractors. We run accessibility audits and supervise works for compliant results without aesthetic compromise.
