What is Universal Design?
Universal Design is an approach to homebuilding that prioritizes 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.
Generously Sized Doorways
Generously sized doorways and hallways create an open, welcoming feel throughout the home while allowing for easier movement between rooms. This thoughtful design feature enhances everyday comfort without compromising the elegance and style of a Sadler home.
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 beautifully designed, spa-like shower with no raised threshold to step over. Zero-entry showers combine sophisticated style, everyday convenience, 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 raised dishwasher makes loading and unloading easier by reducing the need to bend. It’s a simple, thoughtful adjustment that adds convenience to everyday routines while fitting naturally into a beautifully designed kitchen.
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.
