Designing Adaptive Kitchens for Active Aging Clients
Presented by:
Kimberly Little, Trade Representative, Sub-Zero Wolf East, LLC
CEUs: .1
What You Will Learn
Aging is traditionally seen as a negative experience fraught with challenges and limitations. Baby Boomers are changing that narrative and reshaping what it means to age for themselves and future generations. With this shift comes a heightened sense of health, wellness, and desire to stay at home — to live in place. To accomplish that, architects and designers must approach adaptive kitchens to suit the changing needs of older adults as well as multigenerational users.
This webinar will examine active aging; adaptive kitchen design; and connected, smart appliances that are as high-performance as they are functional. The CEU qualifies for continuing education credits that count toward the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB’s) Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) credential.
During this session, you will:
- Define what it means for generations to live in place with wellness in mind.
- Examine active, aging adaptive kitchen design and smart appliances that feature high performance and functionality.
- Recognize the design and remodel changes needed to create adaptive kitchens for multigenerational users.
