arc by monique daniels from usa

i approached this project with universal design principles in mind. specifically, equitable use, flexibility in use, simple and intuitive design, and low physical effort. my design is simple in form and complex in function. as i designed arc i constantly thought of simplicity and ease of use. the wide lever handle provides flexibility in operation so users who cannot grasp as tightly are not hindered. the center opening also promotes user flexibility such as operating the handle with a cane or a hook. the elevated lever requires low physical effort. the sliding lock feature is more user friendly than the standard lock that requires the user to twist it. it also proves to be suitable for residential and commercial applications.
arc is a modern alternative that offers the versatility needed in our modern world.
