Bathroom Design For Handicap

Bathroom Design For Handicap
By Adriana Umana

The issues of handicap bathroom design are not that difficult to overcome, and really it's quite easy for any organization to provide at least one stall for the handicapped, as per regulations now. These issues are ease of access, comfort in use for the handicapped person, and ease of cleaning. All these aspects of bathroom design must be taken into account for a bathroom that is truly usable by the disabled. This is now very necessary for public restrooms in order to avoid legal action or even boycott on the part of those concerned.

Resources for Handicap Bathroom Design
The best resource for information on creating good handicap bathroom design is the Americans with Disabilities Act website. The ADA has lots of advice on all aspects of bathroom design for ease of use and independence on the part of handicapped users. The priority for any organization wishing to provide facilities for the disabled will be designing a barrier free handicap bathroom. Being able to reach the toilet, the handbasin and the towels are key issues for disabled persons.

Office Lounge Interior

We designed this office lounge interior for banking office dedicated for special customers. Actually it is a sample of old fashioned office lounge interior design for old fashioned bank office. All used colors (grey and brown) are matched with corporate colors. With dominantly grey colors would make this office interior looks dull. The design is still in form of simple and minimalist interior design only the line textures applied on walls.

There is no specific lightings nor ceiling design that could make this office lounge interior look more appealing and also the furniture design is not quite representative for modern office lounge interior. We think this office design is done around 4 years ago :)

Color Me Red

Red color refers to hot color which are strong and aggressive, red in full saturation on color chart is considered as the strongest color. Red color attracts attention often used in signage design, posters or headlines. Red is emphatic color which signifies danger and romance, impression of courage.

Red In Interior Design
Red color affects people in certain ways such as increasing blood pressure and stimulating neurons system. Since it is believed that way, often used in restaurants or cafes to stimulate appetite and conversation. It is compelling color also can create strong architectural focal point in interior space or building. Colors can give illusion of proportion of rooms, which can appear advancing, make walls seem closer and large room appear more demure. This perception can be obtain from red color.


in this classic style room, red color is applied on one side of wall as focal point. it stands out among neutral colors (white). Red color in this room creates the sense of elegance.

The red color is nicely blended with all furniture and artworks in this room. Because this room is large with high ceiling makes the feeling of oppression is vanished, even the whole walls are painted in red. It creates the impression of elegance and royalty.

This room is totally painted in red and only white as an accent. It looks so nice and brave though, I could get the sense of hot temperature by staying in that room

I like red color in this room. Applied in public space, in elevator hall which is long and narrow space, a minimalist room. Personally, I like red color in public space even the whole interior space covered in red. In public area, people would come and go quickly they wouldn't stay long and only the sense of joyful that would stay.
