ACCESSIBLE DESIGN
What Our Clients Are Saying?
“You demonstrated remarkable expertise as you anticipated each of (my husband's) needs …. It meant the world to me that you created a home which was warm and inviting as well as safe and accessible to my handicapped husband.”
- Elaine Gotlieb
“You were like a visionary in the retrofitting of our home. You used your phenomenal expertise and creativity to envision options that put functionality into living space for my physically challenged son.”
- Robert Lapin
When you’re physically challenged, even the most common residential features can present themselves as barriers to independent living.
Accessible Design, also known as Universal Design, is a specialized branch of Interior Design.
Adele Cohen Segel obtained additional advanced training in Aging-in-Place, and Accessible Design at Harvard University.

Proven state-of-the-art solutions include: Easy electronic control systems, wider doorways, pullout shelving, non-grasp drawer and cabinet pulls, lever-operated faucets, flexible workstations, and more.
Equally important is the fact that current accessible design solutions are very stylish so homes continue to be highly marketable.
AGING-IN-PLACE
Independent living often becomes an issue for another group of clients—older homeowners. Until recently, they had to leave their homes and long-time cherished neighbors for a different, geriatric-friendly environment. Not any more.
Within Accessible Design is a field of expertise called Aging-In-Place.
Proven, attractive aging-in-place solutions are available to help you feel more comfortable and more confident.
"If your things tell the story of your life, how do you downsize? You take your favorites with you!"
"Adele was instrumental in making an overwhelming job manageable, enjoyable and even fun! She supported our family in renovating a condo for aging parents and transitioning them out of a beloved home into a more livable space."
Elyse Spector Kalmans
"Adele Segel helped my parents downsize, sell their home and move to an
assisted living facility... She handled the entire process from end to end
and she was gentle and patient as my parents came to grips with their new
circumstances."
Pam Nelson
"The best part of working with Adele was how easy she made our move from a
3100 square foot house to a 1000 square foot apartment! There were so many
details involved, and we never could have done all of it without her"
