Spotlight on Renaissance Homes – Innovation in Design

Renaissance Homes is a family owned and operated Canberra residential building company, which has become a leader in the construction industry for designing innovative and accessible homes tailored to meet the needs of clients with mobility limitations and people with disability. Renaissance Homes founders, Lud Kerec and his son Andrew were motivated to investigate accessibility standards following a cycling accident which left Lud with quadriplegia. They experienced the problem of finding suitable housing for Lud’s recovery and subsequently found that he was unable to visit many of their friends and relatives due to the inaccessible design of their houses. The houses Renaissance Homes construct are safer, easier and more enjoyable for all to occupy, particularly for people with disability and people with mobility limitation. Renaissance Homes have won numerous excellence awards for their designs since they began in 1996, including a recent Master Builders Association award for a special purpose dwelling built for a client with quadriplegia in Forde. At the 2018 ACT Chief Minister's Inclusion Awards, Renaissance Homes took home the Award for Innovation in Design to Create Inclusion of People with Disability.
