What is Universal Design?

Universal Design is an approach to homebuilding that prioritizes accessibility, comfort, and usability for people of all ages and abilities, without sacrificing style. It’s about creating spaces that work better for everyone, with features like zero-step entries, wider doorways, open floor plans, and smart layout choices that make daily living easier. At its core, Universal Design is thoughtful, flexible, and future-ready.

Zero-Entry Access Through the Garage

All Sadler homes offer step-free entry through the garage, creating effortless access for everyday life, without altering the beautiful, traditional front elevation. It’s one of the many ways Universal Design quietly enhances convenience.

Flowing, Open Floor Plans

Our layouts are thoughtfully designed to feel open, natural, and easy to navigate. Every space is optimized for comfort, connection, and livability.

Zero-Entry Showers

Step directly into a stunning, spa-like shower, no thresholds, no barriers. These showers offer beauty, ease, and comfort for every stage of life.

Elevators or Stacked Closets

Most of our homes include a residential elevator. When a client chooses not to include one right away, we design for the future with perfectly aligned stacked closets that allow for seamless elevator installation later on.

Raised Dishwashers

A game-changing feature, elevated dishwashers reduce bending and make everyday tasks more comfortable. It’s a simple touch with a big impact.

Sleek Lever-Style Handles and Fixtures

Our door handles and faucets are selected for both form and function—easy to use, beautiful to look at, and built to last.

Smart Lighting and Switch Placement

Thoughtful lighting design and well-placed switches make your home more intuitive and enjoyable to live in, from day one.
