Accessible and Ergonomic Kitchen
The kitchen is a key space in the home, so its design must ensure accessibility and safety for everyone, regardless of mobility or height. This requires height-adjustable surfaces, ergonomic storage, and easy-to-use taps. Additionally, the use of non-slip materials and insulated piping helps prevent accidents, making the kitchen a safer and more efficient space.
