A Universal Kitchen
Bright and open, this kitchen incorporates elements of Universal Design that are seamless to the casual eye, yet define a space that easily accommodates users with different needs.
UD Highlights

Dishwasher drawers require less bending and provide easy access to wheelchair users.

Easy-to-clean smooth cook top features controls up front, reducing the risk of burns from reaching over hot burners.

Under-sink cabinet features pocket doors that retract, creating space for a wheelchair to slide underneath to access the prep sink.

Multiple counter heights suit different users. Island counter (34 inches high) is ideal for food prep. Lower eating counter (30 inches high) is safer for kids and more accessible for wheelchair users.
