Ilford Gardens is an architect-designed accessible home in Coventry — a 150 sqm single-storey extension and full adaptation of an existing bungalow, designed for a client living with a progressive mobility condition. The brief was independent living now and into the future, without compromise to design or daylight. The ramp is a curved garden path falling at an accessible gradient under a zinc-edged canopy. The handrail reads as a garden balustrade. Thresholds flush, floors level, principal rooms opening south to the garden through full-height glazing. A home that supports independence and dignity without announcing itself as accessible.
