AB  - According to TurkishStatistical Institute data (2011), it is known that approximately 6.6% of thepopulation in Turkey is composed of disabled people and the highest rate ofdisability is from physical disabilities. It is observed that the freedom of movementof physically handicapped individuals is very limited in the environment andhousing areas, and the existing regulations do not fully respond to the needs.It is difficult for people with physical disabilities to use furniture,fixtures and fixtures designed for normal people. The washbasins in bathroomsand toilets, which are the most special parts of homes and workplaces, need tobe arranged for individual use without physical support for individuals withphysical disabilities. In this way, disabled individuals will be able to livetheir lives without the need of others, at least by labor. In this study, aheight adjustable washbasin was designed as a solution to minimize thedifficulties caused by arrangements in the wash basin in bathrooms and toilets,one of the places where disabled people are most distressed in living spacesand public spaces. This study has been designed and manufactured not only fordisabled people but also for the children and the elderly, especially thosewith physical competence, which will facilitate the life of each individual.
