The upper cabinets were lowered six inches. The lower cabinets were also lowered so the height was compatible with folding clothes from a wheel chair. The size of the laundry was determined, in part, by allowing for a five foot turning radius. This turning radius was also considered in the bathroom and by the back door. All halls are at least four feet wide.
Doors are bifold.
All cabinet hardware is suppose to be the fixed loop type handles which can be grasped from above or below. We opted for traditional knobs and bin pulls. We'll change them when we need to do so. We now have a five foot arched opening from our kitchen into the new addition. This makes the kitchen look old and drab, next to the new.
