I got a similar opportunity to design a Respite building for State Fair Park in West Allis, for the National Spinal Cord Injury Association.

It was much the same experience, because as a designer, it went far beyond the typical ‘adding grab bars fro code compliance ‘ mentality, into actually understanding the limitations and ramifications of the disability, and turning those elements into challenges that are solved through thoughtful design, rather than a laundry list of requirements that we were forced to include.
