“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”
―Agatha Christie, “The Last Séance”
Comfort and safety for your beloved mother is the basis for me to design this project.
Here are some details related to this project:
1. Ramp starting from the same point with the existing deck. Then through the rear of the house to the point of new small deck beside the house. Long enough indeed, but not steep. wear a slope ratio of 1: 12. This is based on the following information:

2. In general, style of interior design leads to a cottage style, with warm pastel colors. Wooden floors, wood elements and white on the furniture to give the impression of a warm and natural.
3. In the bathroom, I design a large shower room and curbless. There is also a bench and a handle for easy activity. idea came from here:

4. In the laundry room, washer and dryer stacked for space efficiency. Also ironing portable used as needed.
5. Lastly is very important is light. There is a large window openings and the entrance of a transparent glass to incorporate natural light makes the room bright and energy efficient during the day.
To get a good experience of space I also include the animated video here :
