he topic of this issue of Desert Design
Magazine covers Universal Design and the impact
it is having on our industry. Universal Design is
just one of the “buzz words” that prevail in our industry
referring to trends, movements or client interests that
require our attention. Staying on top of the latest research and products is
important in maintaining your credibility and value with your clients. The
need for ongoing education in all areas of design is why continuing education
units (CEUs) are required to maintain your membership in ASID.
The next deadline for completing hours of CEUs is December 31, 2015.
The number of units required is based on your membership anniversary –

We are very fortunate that CEUs are offered throughout the year by
our Chapter and industry partners. There are also online opportunities
to meet the requirement. Each week in “The Buzz” we will share CEU
opportunities that you may take attend. One or the other. National industry
events are also posted.
National takes this very seriously and is currently monitoring chapters for
their level of compliance and reporting. They also audit designers periodically
to be sure the reports are valid. Don’t jeopardize your membership. Check
your status now to see if you need more hours before the end of the year.

FROM THE communi c at ions d i r ecto r
T
hings are heating up with both the
weather and the economy. Good news for
both the ASID Arizona North Interior Design
community and the industry partners that support
them. The national outlook is bright as well. There are
a number of signs that the industry has fully recovered
from the 2008 recession. Randy Fiser, ASID CEO,
documented this national come back and ASID Arizona North featured his
information in the June “Creative Brief ”.
Any national recovery is going to bode well for the long-term future of our
industry here in the Valley. The Arizona North Chapter is unique with so many
of our local population based elsewhere in the county (or North America).
More money generated elsewhere means more dollars spent here.
So enjoy the Summer - it may be hot due to our economic future.

CHAPTER MEETING
T
he party started off with Jan D’Atri, TV and radio personality,
introducing Susan Hersker, ASID, Design Directives and Carol Minchew,
(retired) Carol Minchew Interiors, to take a walk down memory lane and recap
over 40 years worth of anecdotes. The accompanying photo montage was an eye
opener as to the quality of design produced by our
talented members. Most of it is still as fresh as the
day it was introduced. And Tony Sutton was very
sporty in his wide lapel suit from back in the day!
All those attending were treated to inside
information on “Frank Lloyd Wright Designs for
Living” with the presentation by R. “Rich” Nicholas
Loope, FAIA, HL Design Build. Lynne Beyer, Allied

The difference is Gaggenau.
Great cuisine starts with storing food properly. That’s why the
400 series modular refrigeration is stainless steel on the outside
and the inside, a quality standard otherwise only found in
professional cold storage. Other extraordinary features are the
new LED lighting pillars, a continuously adjustable motorized
shelf and the temperature-controlled drawer. This is a real
stainless steel fridge - inside and out - fully loaded with all of our
food storage expertise.

Investing in
Demographics

As one elderly man said to another, “I want to live long enough to spend my
children’s inheritance.”
For many retired couples, there’s no place like a second home, and no place like Arizona to build or
remodel an existing one.
In fact, one of the hottest segments in real estate today is second home development for which
residences typically sell for $350,000 to $1,500,0000.
Most second home buyers today are high income, high asset, 55 and older college graduates who
have children nearing adulthood or have no children living at home. Yet a second home is not only a
place to enjoy one’s leisure time, it’s a place of comfort, security, mobility, and functionality.
One of my favorite examples is a retired school teacher from Minnesota, tires of shoveling snow,
who just wanted to enjoy a low maintenance garden year round and work on her handicap. She hired
me to make aesthetic modifications to her newly purchased Desert Mountain home. We removed the
bumpy, uneven flagstone flooring, and chose a travertine Versailles pattern with warm earth tones.
We remodeled her snail shower step-over-curb and replaced it with a gradually sloped shower entry
for easier shower access. We added motorized shade screens and took out the old continuous cord loop
operation style.
Her kitchen was redesigned with a smaller island for better mobility, reachable cabinet handles that
were not only aesthetically pleasing, but large enough to grip, and we lowered the interior cabinet
shelving to make everything easier to reach. With these modifications now in place, this happy retiree
can spend more time enjoying an afternoon of making new golf friends and less time thinking about
snow plow friends. Her home is now easier to live in and more beautiful.
Based on estimates of more than 6 million second homes in this country, spending on these
residences exceeds $19 billion a year. As one might imagine, the construction and remodel of existing
homes to suite the needs of the 55 plus, as well as maintenance of second homes, is big business. The
second home owners are a vitally important sector of our local economy here in Arizona, and growth
rates of second-home buyers is now about 5 percent per year with no indication of slowing down as
reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By 2040, the United States population of elderly will total
35 million, the largest portion of the population.
Good design does not have to be compromised in order to meet the needs of the Second-Home
Boom. An important consideration is the adoption of Universal Design in home modifications.
Universal Design means that as the homeowner ages, the home will continue to function as a safe
place. It will remain comfortable and accessible. Advocates for housing modifications have long argued
that environments - not people - are “disabled”, and that independence-promoting environments
improve the level of functional ability.

Universal Design:
What is it?
U
Universal design is the design of products
and environments to be usable by all people, to the
greatest extent possible. It is an approach to design
that incorporates products as well as building features
and elements which can be used by everyone. In other
words, any component of the home that can be used
by everyone regardless of their age, ability or disability.
Research findings suggest that home adaptation not
only supports the independent functioning of the 55
plus population, but can also be cost effective. Many of
the most frequently needed adaptations are those with
the lowest cost, such as grab bars.
There are seven principles of Universal Design.
I think it is important to hire an Interior Designer
who can incorporate these principles into the
homeowner’s vision for their home so that it feels
familiar and natural.
Principle One:
Equitable Use – The design is useful and
marketable to people with diverse abilities.
Principle Two:
Flexibility in Use – The design accommodates a
wide range of individual preferences.

Desert Design Summer 2015
Principle Three:
Simple and Intuitive Use – Use of the design
is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s
experience, knowledge, language skills or current
concentration level.
Principle Four:
Perceptible Information – The design
communicates necessary information effectively to
the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s
sensory abilities.
Principle Five:
Tolerance for Error – The design minimizes
hazards and the adverse consequence of accidental or
unintended actions.
Principle Six:
Low Physical Effort – The design can be used
efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum
of fatigue.
Principle Seven:
Size and Space for Approach and Use –
Appropriate size and space is provided for approach,
reach, manipulation, and use regardless of user’s body
size, posture, or mobility.

It is understandable that some homeowners may worry
that Universal Design will interrupt the design of their
home or seem institutional. In my own second home client
/designer relationships, I have incorporated Universal Design
elements specific to clients’ individual structural needs which
are seamlessly incorporated into the overall design and
vision of the homeowner. I enjoy the creative challenge that
includes: consideration for entrances, lighting, access to beds,
reachable switches and outlets, grab bars in showers, nonslippery tile throughout the home, kitchen planning to allow
for easy access to cabinet doors and shelves, closet access with
openings large enough for an assisted walking devise, easily
operable windows and window treatments, user friendly home
automation, reachable storage, elimination of stairs, and furniture
specifications with proper body support.
We incorporate these elements in a way that makes the home
more beautiful and enhances the livability, comfort and style of
the home.

INTERIOR DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
Wendi Stallings
ASID, Principal, Private Label International
W
endi Stallings, (Founder of Private
Label International), brings an award winning
design perspective to her client’s development
projects. After a distinguished career in the
commercial design world, Wendi fulfilled her desire to
become an entrepreneur and started her own design
firm in 2008. Her firm was founded with the belief
that an iterative process is key to generating unique
creative ideas that are specific to the client’s needs.
She began exploring her entrepreneurial and
creative curiosities at a young age, taking cues from
her mother, an artist and teacher, and her father, a
business consultant. Those early influences led to
belief that “creativity” and “business strategies” must
coexist to be successful; each project is a delicate
balance of innovation, functionality, and financial
responsibility. With urban infill development and
property repositioning projects at an all-time high,
developers are relying on her boutique approach that
tailors each project to their discerning clientele and
cultivates lifestyle experiences.
Wendi studied fine art, fashion and design at The
School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she
received her degree in Interior Architecture. Wendi
also attended the Ecole Speciale d’Architecture in
Paris, expanding her knowledge base and appreciation
for Europe’s classic architecture and design influence.
Throughout her early career, Wendi was fortunate to
have worked for clients with a global presence and
attended the CityScape Design Summit in Dubai. She
continues to draw influence on trends in design from
the hottest markets around the globe, which inspires
ideas that encompass every taste and design category.
Wendi has worked with a range of clients
throughout her career that have provided her with a
unique perspective that gives her the ability to tailor
the design to a boutique one-of-a-kind project as well
as an international brand that wants their designs to
be site specific to the location, the consumer, and the
communities that they support. In lieu of focusing on
signature style as an aesthetic, Wendi’s approach focuses
on making a connection between her clients and their
targeted consumer.
Her ultimate goal
is a solution that
prioritizes expectations
and reflects the needs
and wants of the end
user. The process
begins with evaluating
consumer attitudes,
market trends and key
influencers, which are
pivotal in guiding the
team towards a cutting
edge product that is
both elevated and
approachable. This unprecedented blend of services
creates unforgettable experiences that evolve beyond
the trends of today to be the icons of tomorrow.
She has collaborated with a wide spectrum of
clients including: Starwood Vacation Ownership,
Vulcan Development (a Paul Allen Company),
Marriot Vacation Club International, DMB Associates,
Roger Penski, Unitech Group, Related Group,
Alliance Residential Company, Cabana Modern
Apartment Homes and Deco Communities.
Wendi’s visionary approach to her work has
recently been honored in 2014 with two 1st Place and
one 2nd Place ASID Design Excellence Awards.
