The 3,000-square-foot single-family residences, the Patriot Home and the Freedom Home, are intended to better serve wounded soldiers and their families as they remain on active duty at Fort Belvoir, in Virginia. The new homes will serve as prototypes for approximately twenty other accessible homes at Fort Belvoir and hundreds more across the country. In addition, each house will function as a design laboratory, whose progress will improve the lives of soldiers, as well as the general aging American population. Wounded Warrior Home Project at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, USA - design by Michael Graves & Associates: pictures from architects “It has been an honor for me and my team to work on these homes with Clark Realty Capital and the Army,” said Michael Graves, principal at Michael Graves & Associates. “As a paraplegic myself, I was inspired to rethink how the design of comfortable, well-functioning living spaces could better meet the unique needs of our wounded military. Looking at these homes, you would never know that they are designed for the disabled. These are homes that anyone would be proud to live in. That was the goal we set, and I think we’ve achieved that and more.” pictures from architects In conjunction with real estate developers Clark Realty, MGA has designed a complete residential environment for physically impaired veterans: from the adjustable-height kitchen countertops to easy-access rooms and closets. The design of these prototypes provides for the needs of a varied group of soldiers who have been injured and/or adversely affected by their military service. Universal design principles are utilized to serve soldiers with varying conditions including but not limited to paralysis, blindness, loss of limbs, and/or post-traumatic stress disorder. In addition, each house will function as a design laboratory, whose progress will improve the lives of soldiers, as well as the general aging American population. picture from architects MGA brings to the project it’s 47 years of product and building design. Extensive in-studio research insures that every sliding door, toothbrush, and Smartphone-controlled air conditioner in the Wounded Warrior Homes works the way it's supposed to. At the same, Graves’ original visual sensibility gives the houses and everything in them an elegance and style usually missing in the patient-care space. The architecture and design of the homes demonstrates a unique insight into the lives of those with limited mobility because it was created by someone who knows the challenges that people with special needs have to face. Graves struggled with them for eight years, and much of his recent work has been devoted to designing better everyday products that are as beautiful as they are easy to use.
