Welcome to Cozy Connect Tiny Homes, where I’m documenting every step of creating my dream semi-independent space. Today, I’m sharing the design choices I’ve made to keep things safe, accessible, and completely on one level.
My Floor Plan Vision
- Zero-step entry right from the breezeway into my living room—no thresholds to trip over.
- Open layout with a 36″ clear path so I can move freely, even if I need a walker one day.
Kitchen & Bathroom Features I Love
- Lowered countertops at 34″ so I don’t have to stretch or bend too much, plus pull-out drawers for easy access.
- A roll-in shower with built-in seat and grab bars—my morning routine will feel spa-level!
Connecting to Support
- I’ve planned a covered breezeway that links my home to the next tiny house where my support person lives. Rain or shine, help is just a few steps away.
Adding Sensory Cues
- I’m using color zones (soft blue in the kitchen, green in the bathroom) so I always know where I am.
- Tactile labels on light switches let me flip the right one without second-guessing.
Next Steps: I’ll be sketching these ideas in CAD next week—can’t wait to share screenshots!
