Universal Design Kitchen - Designing For Different Abilities
Whether
you're remodeling due to a disability or just planning for the future,
keeping safety and accessibility in mind is always AK's policy. Kitchens can be remodeled with ease of use, sanitation and improved
lighting in mind. Ranges with stove controls at the back may be
dangerous for an older person with limited mobility who must reach over a
hot cooktop to turn off a burner. Your safety is AK's first
concern when analyzing home modifications for aging-in-place. As a CAPS (certified aging in place) remodeler, we are fully qualified to handle home modifications on a
need basis, from ramps for wheelchairs and motorized scooters to
multiple features for making everyday activities easier for the aging
population.
AK designed a kitchen remodel in Woodstock, Georgia for a client who had limited mobility. Not only did she want her disability to be designed for, but also her great sense of style! Universal design and aging in place does NOT mean frumpy. Just look at this kitchen after!
