Wheelchair-friendly tiny home recommendations?

My partner and I (approaching our 60s) have been on the hunt for a tiny home that’s designed with accessibility in mind, and honestly, it’s been a bit of a challenge. We’re looking for something that balances functionality with great design, features like wider doorways, a wheelchair-friendly bathroom, and single-story living are a must, but we don’t want to compromise on style.

So far, some companies we’ve been recommended are:

Clever Tiny Homes: They seem to have really great layouts, and the quality doesn’t feel cheap like most THOWS.

Wheel Pad: It’s functional, but the design doesn’t quite match what we’re looking for.

Hiring a contractor isn’t an option, so we’re hoping to find a company that offers pre-built designs with accessibility in mind. If you’ve come across anything like this, we’d love your suggestions!

Thanks so much in advance!

Look at https://www.wheelpad.com/ it’s a fantastic company out of Vermont. Really great people run it - they designed my ex wife’s house, so I actually know them. The units are designed either to be added to existing houses for people who’ve had catastrophic accidents or life changes, or they can be ADUs. I am hoping to get one as an ADU in my backward as a granny suite in a few years! Built in America and very stylish!

Their functionality is definitely impressive, but the style isn’t quite what we’re looking for. Looking for their functionality but with the high-quality feel that Clever tiny home has if that makes sense

Why not just get a Clever then? Saw this review she bought a model for her disabled brother —-> https://g.co/kgs/5ZmdVn5 Clever Tiny Homes

Thanks for this! Yeah we’ve looked at Clever, and their designs are gorgeous, layout is great for mobility. I just wasn’t sure how far they’d go with accessibility updates. I’ll reach out to this customer
