Thank you Adrian for your thoughful response, it certainly is difficult designing for another person when you haven't experienced the difficulties and frustrations from their perspective.
The submission/presentation for this project is this week...wish me luck!

Just looked again... For the facets,, taps....  find a model with only one "Tap" and place to the side of the basin. Remembering arm dexterity, and eliminating the possibility of scolding from Hot Water

These comments may have been said before,  but as a "Newbie" I am still finding my way around this great forum

Adrian,

Thanks so much for the link to the disabled architecture website, it's a goldmine of information and again, it had so many ideas that I hadn't considered like the level access to the shower - of course it makes perfect sense now once you've read it, but I'm so used to doing set downs in wet areas that it never even crossed my mind!

Hi Garry,

Good to hear it all went well.
Maybe we will see an 'as built' eventually for comparison!  ;D
