視力不便的長者家居
Home for the elderly with visual impairments

60多歲的陳伯伯因病而令眼睛不適，視力只餘下三成左右，我們受他的家人委托，改善伯伯的家居以配合他的生活情況。

✅第一次到陳伯伯家，發現很多客廳的傢俬是沒有固定的（因伯伯買的是散件傢俬），但以目前他的生活情況，我們建議將散件傢俬固定好牆身，加添支撐力，以免造成危險。

✅另外，傢俬擺位方面，我們將客廳原有的電視櫃貼客廳牆身擺放，讓客廳可行走的空間擴大，讓伯伯避免了因雜物或障礙物影響他日常的起居出入

✅不過對於視障者，還有一項很重要的留意，其實他們多數以「記憶」去認路綫，如果一個熟習很久的家居，經過整頓之後，其實我們要讓他熟習新的擺位，才能讓使用者安心運用有效的空間，作為設計師、收納師，這點要與家人及當事人好好溝通，讓大家做好心理準備，熟悉新的環境，才能事半功倍。


Uncle Chen, who is in his 60s, suffers from eye discomfort due to diabetes and his vision is only about 30%. We were entrusted by his family to improve his home to suit his living conditions.

✅When we went to Uncle Chen’s house for the first time, we found that many of the furniture in the living room were not fixed (because they bought loose furniture). However, based on his current living situation, we recommend that the loose furniture be fixed to the wall, by adding support to avoid danger.

✅In addition, in terms of furniture placement, we placed the original TV cabinet in the living room against the wall of the living room to expand the walking space in the living area and prevent the uncle from having clutter or obstacles that affect his daily life.

✅However, there is another very important thing to pay attention to for the visually impaired. In fact, most of them use "memory" to recognize the route. If a home that has been familiar to them for a long time has been reorganized, we actually need to make them familiar with the new positioning. Users can use the effective space with peace of mind. As a designer and organizer, this must be communicated well with family members and parties involved, so that everyone can be mentally prepared and familiar with the new environment, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort.
