KITCHENS
When designing a kitchen for a multifamily dwelling, interior designers must determine the
jurisdictional requirements for their specic project because they can vary depending on the
type of project and the number of units. The layout for an accessible kitchen follows the same
principles as that of a standard kitchen, with additional criteria regarding maneuverability. In
general, clear oor space is required at xtures and appliances, and the shape and size will
depend on whether the approach is parallel or perpendicular.

Adaptable Kitchen Design
Depending on the specic project, a kitchen
might be designed as “adaptable,” meaning
that certain features can be adapted for per-
sons with or without disabilities. Examples
of adaptable features are removable base
cabinets for clear knee space and adjust-
able counter heights.
