Accessible kitchen design features and tips

There are a few tricks to designing and building a good accessible kitchen. My friend Laura shows me some of the features of her accessible kitchen and gives me a few tips on what to look out for when designing a new kitchen.

Really love the oven and raise and lower sink & stove. I live in the U.S. How would I even go about finding these appliances and the installers?

Being in New Zealand I'm not sure, but start with an internet search, good luck.

I'm looking for info also!
Great ideas! My husband is wheelchair bound and we are both left handed, which I'm thinking watching you open drawers.
Wondering if the oven door ever swings back on itself. I'd like to see if anyone could do a swing up door, so the door would be overhead to prevent possible burning.
This is such a great video!
Blessings!!!

There are some great oven options around with different hinge or fold away options.

Yes, very good - can't say enough how drawers can be so much easier than cupboards - the doors do get in the way! It's interesting to hear you say about how with a spinal injury 'normal, mundane tasks' become extremely exhausting - I still try to stand as much as I can, but I know it's to my detriment - trying to cook takes all afternoon & is like mountain climbing... We're just about to redesign one end of the kitchen to make it more accessible for me to use & I'm wondering how expensive the movable counter-top is with the sink in? And what other options there could be for a static, as we will have 2 in our kitchen? You certainly have done the perfect job with your oven, we're going to do that & I'm going to have another pull out work top near 'my' sink. I'm also thinking I don't need as deep a bench top as usual, because that restricts my reach above. For some it may well be worth looking at "new' ways of cooking - like with multi cookers, which are cheaper to run than an oven, easier & safer to use and can free up time - as everything takes me about 5Xs as long to do as it used to. Lovely kitchen, Laura, hope you are loving your kitchen?!
