Inclusive Kitchen
For a Wheelchair User who loves Hosting, Wine, and their Dogs
Planning this kitchen was an exploration of accessible solutions for people of all needs. This client in particular needed a wheelchair accessible space with storage solutions she could reach, as well as an open floor plan to accommodate for her wheelchair.
We researched and found hardware that could make upper cabinets accessible, as well as multi-level countertops for all users.
