ACCESSIBLE KITCHEN
ADA enjoyable.
It was a tiny little bungalow with big home dreams. With accessibility on the top of the priority list, two major walls came down to make a small, tight kitchen with little storage and no sunlight turn into a grand open concept kitchen where all who reside can function with ease.
Modification Highlights:
-
Removal of two load bearing walls. Luckily we were able to tuck the beams up into the ceiling to create a continuous ceiling, really emphasizing the open-concept kitchen and great room
-
Shallowing of the front hall closet. By moving the wall and door back, we created a typical 24"d typical coat closet and allocated more space to the front entry - an always challenging access point.
