The "Man Cave" with an accessibility twist!

Jordan and I were paired up to come up with a concept idea for a room that targets accessibility issues. The task was to design a room with a handicapped person in mind and take into account all the issues they would face in a normal home and come up with a concept that would alleviate these problems.

Jordan came up with an excellent idea for a "Man Cave" built for a person in a wheelchair. When he shared the idea with I instantly agreed. What could be cooler for a person in a wheelchair than to have an awesome room that is built with high tech equipment, pool table, full wet bar, and much more. Everything would be custom built with all the height restrictions in mind so that a wheel chair person would be able to get around the room and be able to reach everything and be able to play a game of pool, pour a drink, or even play some Foosball. Although the pool table may be at a lower height it is height adjustable for non handicapped people to play. This height adjustment idea follows through some of the features of this room. Check out the sketches!
