Finding a wheelchair accessible home in New York City can be a challenge, but after a diving accident left David Carmel paralyzed from the waist down, Carmel knew he was looking for a home that was "accessible but not institutional."

The redesign of the staircase is a contemporary touch which could have just as easily existed in the home's original state.
