The architects created a mudroom off the garage with plenty of room for quick turnarounds and busy family comings and goings. Much of the garage had been taken up by a large ramp before the concrete floor was repoured on a slope that meets with the house, eliminating the need for a more cumbersome ramp and allowing room for storage shelves. “Your home is a place where you shouldn’t have to put out too much effort, whether you’re a person with a disability or not,” says Braitmayer. “You should be able to reserve all that energy and effort for the outside world.”
