Designing a home for aging in place requires more than adding accessibility features. It means creating a space that feels welcoming, adaptable, and comfortable for years to come. For a couple building their forever home on Washington’s Whidbey Island, this meant prioritizing flexibility, a connection to nature, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Seattle-based architecture firm GroupArchitect brought the homeowners’ vision to life through thoughtful design choices and durable, high-performance materials. At the center of it all is a folding patio glass door that opens the home to the outdoors and supports a lifestyle built around ease, enjoyment, and long-term comfort.
