We will meet at CRC at 12:15 and drive together. It is about 30 minutes away. Take a private behind-the-scenes in depth look from design, to construction, to post-occupancy, of the Universal Design Living Laboratory, the national demonstration home and garden in Columbus, Ohio. This spectacular Frank Lloyd Wright inspired Prairie Style home is unlike any you've seen. Clever design features and meticulous detailing make this home convenient, functional, peaceful and safe for everyone during every stage of life --- regardless of age, size, or physical ability. This high performance custom home showcases asked for, forward thinking features, such as universal design, green and healthy construction, and feng shui principles. You will learn about these benefits, and more, during a tour of the home. This home is totally wheelchair accessible. The Universal Design Living Laboratory is the top rated universal design home in North America earning three national certifications. It received a Gold rating on the National Green Building Standards certification program from the National Association of Home Builders for the green building components. Tours average 1.5 hours and are lead by the general contractors/builders and homeowners, Rosemarie Rossetti, Ph.D. and Mark Leder. As an added feature of the tour, they will be available to answer your questions and point out highlights. You will have full access to the home and beautifully landscaped garden. Tours of this extraordinary model of excellence home are based on real-life research and firsthand experience. The tour guides will review what works, what sells, and where the challenges are. Each tour is customized based upon the interests of the group. |
