@quid_agis_2713 UD can work for everyone and its up to us all to encourage the government and public sectors to take the leap by highlighting some of the good outcomes that can be achieved through delivering Universal Design from the outset of builds in their sectors !- https://t.co/RiQjiU8kAu

[Lifemark @Lifemark]

Universal Design sure is a no-🧠er & homes that achieve a @Lifemark Star rating will deliver this.✅

@BenRoss_AKL @huhanahickey @cjhamblin @Lifemark universal design is a no-brainer. So is the energy efficient Passive House (@PHI_NZ) building standard. It’s time @MBIEgovtnz required us to build UP to a standard not DOWN to a price. Future-proof our homes. Start at @KaingaOraGovtNZ. Do it right the first time.

[KayCRESA @CresaKay]

Brilliant - well done. This future proofs our housing.

[Lifemark @Lifemark]

Back in 2020 St Andrews Village opened 'The Terraces'.

The Terraces comprise of 48 Lifemark 5-Star apartments and are a great example of Multi-storey Universal Design.

@quid_agis_2713 @theUDproject @Lifemark Agreed and/or encouragement. Councils like Hamilton City, Thames Coromandel and Hauraki reward owners for including UD in new builds. Need more carrots 😄

[Lifemark @Lifemark]

@quid_agis_2713 @helen33765817 @theUDproject Here's an example of how @CouncilHamilton in NZ is rewarding developers in their CBD for delivering to our UD standards🥕⬇️

We sure are 🔨 #Foreverhomes #UniversalDesign #UDforall

[Helen James @helen33765817]

@theUDproject Here in NZ despite an aging population and 1 in 4 with a disability we are still adding inaccessible homes to our housing stock. Time to rethink and build more Universally Designed homes. Lifemark is working to make 'forever' homes the new norm. @Lifemark

[Lifemark @Lifemark]

@theUDproject In NZ 90% of us want to retire in a forever home. We need more forever homes built to our UD standards, they won't just work 4 our aging population but 4 many more! e.g. Max & Tricia's Lifemark 4-Star home is a prime, it works for 98% of our population⬇️

JIC you ever wondered what it looks like inside a Lifemark 4-Star rated Public Housing home?🤔

Well @PNCityCouncil have you sorted, all you need to do is roll on in.

In a Lifemark home rated for Universal Design best practice, everyone is welcome!

[Lifemark @Lifemark]

A development currently under construction in Takanini, Auckland has a target of 4 Lifemark 5-Star rated units.

Do you think more developers should have this mindset?

In NZ 1 in 4 have a disability, this omits temp disabilities and the fact we have an ageing population.

#UniversalDesign is for everyone!

[Jane Bringolf @UDAustralia]

For many people, leading an independent life may be fully conditional on the accessibility of public spaces & our homes. Official stats on disability omit health conditions, & temp disability. Accessibility is about all of us. That is, universal design.

[Helen James @helen33765817]

Incorporating Universal Design into a dwelling makes it accessible and more liveable for the widest range of people. Great project to be involved with. https://t.co/ply702BsER

[The UD Project @theUDproject]

Doing #universaldesign well necessitates a shift from an individual client/customer-centered focus to one that takes a perspective on the needs of the entire population.
