Barrier-Free Living

Living without limits – at every stage of life.

Houses that can be configured barrier-free – with the optional accessibility package: step-free access, open floor plans and intelligent technology that adapts to your life – not the other way around.

Barrier-free construction is a growing priority in Germany: the number of people who depend on step-free, wheelchair-accessible or age-appropriate housing – or who will in the future – continues to rise. With a DWELLII modular house you plan ahead, and benefit from attractive KfW funding for barrier-free construction.

The challenges of traditional homes

Homes should offer comfort and independence at every stage of life. Wide doors, barrier-free layouts and safety-oriented design make your home more accessible and secure with DWELLII.

Increased risk of falls & accidents

Climbing stairs can become difficult and dangerous with age, increasing the risk of falls and restricted mobility in your own home.

Narrow door openings

Standard door frames can make movement between rooms difficult and restrict access to important areas of the home.

High maintenance effort

Large houses require constant upkeep that can become physically demanding and financially burdensome over time.

Risk of social isolation

Traditionally designed floor plans can restrict freedom of movement and reduce opportunities for an active, connected lifestyle.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about barrier-free living

How much does a barrier-free house cost as a new build?

A barrier-free modular house from DWELLII starts at €157,440 for the TR01 (40 m²) and €231,160 for the TR3M (71.7 m²), each turnkey including VAT. The accessibility package is individually calculated. Land, foundations and site connections are additional. KfW funding can significantly reduce the effective financing cost.

What KfW funding is available for barrier-free construction?

The most relevant programmes are KfW 159 "Age-appropriate conversion" (loan up to €50,000) and KfW 455-B (grant up to €6,250). Both must be applied for before construction begins. Regional state funding may also be available. For questions about the application process, we recommend speaking with your bank or an independent financial adviser.

Can a modular house be built barrier-free?

Yes — and modular houses actually have an advantage here: by definition they are single-storey and therefore liveable without climbing stairs. That is the most important prerequisite for barrier-free living. The DWELLII accessibility package adds step-free transitions, a walk-in shower and wider doors. You can see the result at the showhouse in Bad Vilbel.

From what age should I plan for barrier-free living?

Experts recommend planning for barrier-free living from the age of 50 — especially for a new build or major renovation. In a new build the additional cost is minimal; retrofitting can cost many times more. A barrier-free home also increases the long-term living value and makes care easier if needed.
