Accessible Design To Support Mobility

When it comes to mobility updates for kitchen spaces, there are many ways to make the kitchen easier to access and more enjoyable to use. We always recommend more room for maneuvering in the kitchen which can include increasing the size of doorways, adding offset hinges and pocket doors. 

There are a wide variety of other upgrades we can make in your kitchen, from small accommodations like grab bars to large modifications like lower counters and sinks, alternatives to traditional cabinets and others like:

• practical/safety lighting updates
• ensuring all storage is accessible
• adding easy-pull handels
• replaceing doorknobs with levers
• moving kitchen faucets so they are more accessible;
• lower sinks for proper knee clearance
• adding a workspace or table

In the kitchen, common mobility projects include the removal of stairs, the lowering of storage areas and customizations of sinks and sink heads.

We can install wall-mounted sinks or sinks mounted in cabinets that are open underneath to accommodate those in wheelchairs. We also recommend single lever fixtures that are easier to use for homeowners with limited hand mobility.

In Common Rooms or Living Areas, we can:

• create no-step entries and doorways for easier safer access
• customize storage solutions at different heights
• create custom doorways to remove barriers to safe entry and exit
• and more!
