Additional information on wheelchair ramp design. Kitchens Counter areas should be continuous. Cooking and eating surfaces could be combined. A movable work table may be made in place of lowering the existent cabinet space. Formica will wear easily when hot pots are slid along the countertop.
Drawers work best for lower cupboards due to the door swings on cabinets.
Controls for vent hoods and lights should be mounted on the counter tops. All controls should be on the front. Where separate cooking surfaces and oven are used, all controls should be on the side or front. A tilted mirror above the stove for pot watching should be installed. There should be at least a 5' by 5' clear area within the kitchen for wheelchair maneuverability.
