Bigger Powerchair Under Worktop Huge Powerchair Under Worktop As shown here. This is fine for me to eat and drink or even prepare food. As I am fairly tall. It could be three inches lower though. The powerchair is home built since all bought ones are dismal - details can be seen here
Medium Oven Huge Oven Ovens generally open down and towards you. Into your way! For a wheelchair user this side opening oven and microwave/grill is so much easier to use! Actually its easier for everyone. And both mounted at a height I can easily reach. Again this makes it easy for all.
Medium Slide Out Draw Huge Slide Out Draw Every base unit has these slide out strong metal shelves or rails. It means that its easier for me in a wheelchair to access them. Again this works great for everyone and does not look like an "adapted" or accessible kitchen.
Medium Tall Unit Huge Tall Unit All the tall units like this one pull open Meaning no trying to reach inside cupboards! This obviously makes things easier as you can reach everything whilst seated in a wheelchair. And again its just as easy for any able bodied members of the household.
Medium Tall Unit Huge Tall Unit From other side!
Medium Wall Unit Huge Wall Unit All of the wall units are also accessible. I can easily reach that bar, and just pull them down. Here its shown pulled "out" but not all the way down. The metal rack lowers almost down to the worktop height. And its easy.
Bigger view Kitchen Space Huge view Kitchen Space Sleeping dog. It does this a lot. Through the gap behind the dog is a huge fridge and a double door to the garden. There is nothing else in there. I like space. You could add a dinning table. Through the other doorway in the corner is another room with dishwashers, washing machines, dryers etc. That door is a more normal 33 inches. Shown below...
Utility Room off the end of the kitchen - plenty of space and central heating boiler is hidden in the unit at the far end. And the back door.
Breakfast Bar - high enough for a power wheelchair. No support to get in the way below.
Carousel in several units so a wheelchair user can easily access the contents. And so can anyone else!
Island - breakfast bar, Utility room and the back door!
View from the patio door entrance towards the front of the house. Fridge and dog bowls... Kitchen is on the right through the opening.
View from utility room towards kitchen.
From opposite end.
From breakfast bar towards corner.
Side opening ovens
Tall units ease of access.
Same again, other end of kitchen.
From radiator towards corner
From the Sink end towards the radiator! Opposite way to the photo above.
All wall units use pull down baskets (if you choose to use them)
Like this, so that they can be reached from a wheelchair with ease.
Space...
Utility room - off kitchen, back door, central heating boiler, another sink, dishwasher, dryer, washing machine etc.
