Case Study: Accessibility Integration in Lindfield

In this project located in Lindfield, the property presented a significant architectural challenge: the residence sits at a lower elevation than street level, with the original entry accessible only via multiple sets of stairs.

The Challenge

The site’s steep topography created a restrictive environment for the client and their elderly carer. Our objective was to replace the existing stairs with a solution that met stringent accessibility standards while navigating the garden's natural incline.

     

The Solution

We collaborated closely with a specialized Occupational Therapist based in Campsie to design a bespoke wheelchair access ramp. To ensure the highest standards of safety and structural integrity, the ramp was engineered and constructed in full compliance with AS1684 (Residential Timber-Framed Construction).

This collaborative approach ensured that the ramp's gradient, width, and structural support were perfectly tailored to the client’s specific physical requirements and the site's unique demands.

The Outcome

The completed ramp provides a seamless, safe, and dignified entry to the home. By removing the physical barriers of the original site, we have significantly enhanced the daily independence of the client and improved ease of access for their carer.
