Architectural Access has always been a special focus of Deborah’s work. Starting with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) enactment in 1991, she has designed access upgrades at public buildings throughout the Commonwealth. As national chair of the AIA Advisory Group for Small Project Practitioners, she raised awareness for Universal Design in the home through the Small Project Design Awards program. Her book, The Accessible Home, published by Taunton Press in 2012, has been an Amazon best-seller. Michael Graves FAIA says, in the book’s foreword: “Deborah Pierce tackles the small problems along with the large in her quest to make wonderful places where people with disabilities can live comfortably and safely.” Today Deborah’s work is exclusively focused on residential accessibility. Deb is a frequent speaker throughout the country on the why’s and how’s of accessible and universal design.
