The Thomas Vaughan Accessible Design Studio
Our Design Studio in Treforest is a place where accessible design can be explored properly.
​
Clients, families and professionals can experience a working accessible kitchen, explore bathroom solutions, see a through-floor home lift and discuss how different products and layouts could work within a real home.
Â
It is designed to make conversations easier, decisions clearer and accessible design feel less clinical — bringing together practical solutions, thoughtful design and more than 30 years of bathroom and kitchen experience.
