The tap is printed in a gold or brass colour and it has a rather natural shape with lots of curves, mimicking leaves. The handle has braille to indicate temperature and has a simple lever mechanism to start/stop the water flow. There is a leaf shaped structure below the faucet to assist the water to flow closer to the user. The basin is a natural grey colour, it appears to be made of stone and has a smooth, irregular shape as if it were real stone naturally eroded by water over time The tap is printed in a gold or brass colour and it has a rather natural shape with lots of curves, mimicking leaves.

Swinburne University students’ final prototype of an accessible tap.

The Inclusive Design team and Ability Works’ employees have been assisting Engineering and Design students from Swinburne University with a project to design a tap that might be found in a public area around Melbourne.

Swinburne University students and Ability Works employees worked together to design an accessible tap, starting with sketches and to final clay prototypes. Their teamwork and feedback helped solve real-life accessibility challenges. By working with people with disabilities, the students learned more about inclusive design and created practical solutions.

Their final presentation impressed their professor and classmates, showing the success of their work. The students are excited to work on more projects like this, continuing to create meaningful and accessible designs.
