This is America's, and the world's first universal designed, green, inclusive and healthy product, home plans book. Plans also include optional smart technologies and storm-panic safe rooms. Plans can be ordered, modified and built with your own specifications per your site requirements and building codes. "Invisible accessibility"designs are usable for people of all ages and abilities where they do not scream out ADA compliant. I am glad to work with you to create your own custom home design and construction plans.
The healthiest and most energy efficient homes are those that connect intimately with your own site, property and house orientation. A custom home design, based on the universal designing process utilizes the principles of universal design as active designing criteria.
I often say, "the plans are a good place to start". We can inter-mix parts of a plan from a couple plans, (if you wish) and adapt your plan, just for you. The plans are also helpful as a reference for bathroom and kitchen remodels and additions. The last 25 pages contain over 300 detailed space planning tips and specifications that are of great value to you when building new or remodeling an existing home.
Good communication is important for the success of every project and we can talk in person or electronically but mostly both. I hope to work with you and enjoy the information on this site. Its been viewed by over 600,000 people. Thank YOU! and happy 2020 new decade. Best, Charles.

Universal Designed "Smart" Homes for the 21st Century,
102 Plans you can order and build.
Order this innovative home plan and design book while we still have them. The same used book is selling at double the cost,and above on Amazon. When resellers say they are new, they all originated from this website. We have also received reports that there are contraband phony copies circulating as the binding is inferior. So purchase the real thing. I will also be happy to sign it for you at no additional cost if you wish.
The cost here is only $39.00 plus $6 S&H. A new book costs $96 and up on Amazon. They are not "new" and are still second hand. We have also received reports that some are pirated fake copies as the cover ink wears off. The real ones do not.I am filing a investigation with Amazon.
We only ship USPS priority mail, so you will have your book in 3-5 days. You may also mail a check payable to: Life Span Home Designs LLC, 601 Brady St. Suite 301A, Davenport, Iowa, 86203 in the amount of $45.00. Feel free to send an email if you would like a signed book at no additional charge and with a personalized message. Send to: charlesschwab@universaldesignonline.com
This is the third edition of the book.The book features 102 home plans that can be ordered for construction as well as a 25 page room by room features and benefits section that is helpful for new home planning, additions and home-modifications. A four page resources and references section is included and very useful. I am happy to answer any questions you may have by email.CharlesSchwab@UniversalDesignOnline.com ISBN: 0-9748559-1-X
