The purpose of this paper is to identify features for universal design recommendations that are appropriate for residential design. The recommendations are based on previously developed criteria for people with disabilities and for the elderly, as well as traditional space-planning standards. Specific recommendations are categorized as the following: exterior, general interior, kitchen, bathroom, laundry/utility, living/dining, and bedroom/storage. Some items are more universal by their placement, while some features can be made more universally usable by being made adjustable. The recommendations presented herein would be useful to educators and designers who work with the concept of universal design
