(Check out my profile on LinkedIn for more extensive background experience if you like at >> http://www.linkedin.com/in/raadghantous)

My background for the first 8-9 years was high end hotel and resort design and since I have been out on my own for the last 6 years my work has covered a range of resort, day and medical spas and all the A.D.A requirements in those facilities. I have also had high residential experience and am currently melding the two into providing quality of life enhancing and/or maintaining solutions to help people stay in their homes as long as they can/like...that's where the CAPS (Certified Aging in Place certification) comes in.

Modifications to a space to me are so much more than simply placing grab bars on a wall. One should be attempting to cultivate and design a sense of wellness and healing whenever possible by customizing peoples homes, assisted living facilities, nursing homes etc.. into unique safe, familiar sanctuaries where active adults can maintain an independent quality of life well into their maturing years.

My main design website is at www.raadg.com and there is also a powerpoint that you can view at:

I consult on design work through the US and overseas...but love it when the work is close so that I can truly be engaged in ever aspect of the process from start to finish!
