The Zero Threshold design competition
BRIEF
Organized by North Coast Community Homes, providing homes for persons with disabilities for more than three decades, with generous support from the Cleveland Foundation.
More than a competition – A New Way of Design Thinking.
ZeroThreshold is a design competition that is about more than creating accessible spaces. It’s about elevating the idea of accessibility through intentionally beautiful design.
This competition is an important step in changing the conversation about accessibility. Not only will it launch Cleveland towards being the world’s best “barrier- free city”, the solutions that surface can be broadly applicable to cities throughout the United States and around the world.
Winning entries will receive monetary awards and be featured in an exhibition and publication. The strongest and most innovative awards may be constructed in a future second phase of the competition.
