Our Approach
Design-led accessibility strategy.
We integrate ADA and local code compliance into architectural design from the outset, not as a retrofit consideration. Our approach prevents costly revisions by resolving accessibility requirements at the drawing stage.
Comprehensive Service Delivery
Universal design implementation
Height-adjustable fittings, flexible seating arrangements, intuitive wayfinding and tactile navigation — creating spaces that function at any age or ability level.
Accessibility audits and master planning
Site surveys identifying barriers, prioritized remediation strategies and ADA-mapped evidence for regulatory compliance.
Specialist facilities
Changing Places facilities and sensory environments, developed with Gilani Mobility and Pressalit — meeting accessibility standards while providing controlled sensory conditions.
