At FLA, an architectural practice in a community with an average age of 65, seamless integration of the principles of Universal Design is an important organizing framework used by our design team to analyse all decisions. Additionally, it has been an acute topic of interest to Principal Architect Mrs. Orion throughout the entirety of her career.
