Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Universal design is what you are looking for. It is meant to sustain a family as they age in place, or as they entertain friends or family who might be in a wheelchair.

onthefence Search Universal Design both in Browse Rooms and Ideabooks here. There are some amazing photos. I'm a fan of universal design. Regardless of the need for wheelchair access or the abilities of the residents, I think a lot of aspects are just more functional.
