Stunning New Freedom Kitchen in Hunter Green!

We're delighted to share pictures of a recent Freedom Kitchen in Hunter Green, from Symphony's Harvard range.

Image of a large u-shaped wheelchair accessible kitchen in Hunter Green by Freedom. Tall units to near right in dark green with textured brass bar handles. Fixed height sink area with knee space beneath to right, white worktop. Tall units to centre with integrated Neff ovens, and drawers beneath. To left, large rise and fall hob/sink zone. To left standard height base units and drawers with breakfast bar worktop.

This fabulous space is not only the height of elegance, it also includes a sink with accessible tap, a rise and fall hob with a second sink, and masses of accessible storage.

The integrated Neff ovens (below) feature the Slide & Hide oven door, which pushes into a void beneath the oven cavity to reduce the likelihood of injury. Each oven has a heat-resistant pull-out drawer underneath, for safer transfers.

Brass details, including textured bar handles and hot water tap, really set off the Hunter Green colour of this Symphony Harvard kitchen. The second sink means pans can be filled with water right next to the hob, reducing the need to transfer heavy pans filled with water from a sink across the room.

Solid surface worktops in the sink and rise and fall cooking zones allow a raised lip to run around the edges to contain spills, and protect a wheelchair-user's lap. Rise and fall also means the hob can be used at standard height by other members of the household.

An extra pull-out table/worksurface near the rise and fall cooking zone (below) provides additional food prep space or a place to eat breakfast, with great turning space for knees and wheelchair footplates beneath. Maximising turning spaces (and therefore minimising endless back and forth repositioning) can turn a difficult day into a much better one!

A superb example of multigenerational design, this Freedom Kitchen in Hunter Green has been created to suit the precise measurements of the client, and also meet the needs of other members of the household.

Even if a client's needs change over time, or a change of wheelchair becomes necessary in future, this kitchen will continue to work for the client and their family.

Adam says:

"It was a real delight to work with OT Annamarie Wagner, building surveyor Nick Paget and adaption experts Adaptation Design Limited on this project. They brought me in early in the project, giving us a long lead-time so that design details could be properly assessed. I worked closely with the OT and client on the design, and the building work was second to none. Zane, project Manager of Adams & Wade Maidenhead managed the site superbly, and achieved finished dims to the millimetre, with all services also located precisely as specified. It was a joy to work with them as a team, and the end result is a testimony to their professional approach. I also want to thank Tara Neil Ltd and their installation team, who did a wonderful job of turning my kitchen design into reality. The service and attention provided to me and the client were fantastic, not to mention the wonderful coffees! Nothing was too much trouble."

Above, Adam demonstrates the smooth action of a pull-down basket which allows storage of food items on the base of the wall unit, plus two additional pull-down shelves. A fantastic way to make use of wall units in universal design, at reasonable cost.

Full extension pan drawers (below) are a simple accessible solution for storage of all sorts. Transparent drawer sides make it easier to see the contents.

This attractive Hunter Green kitchen demonstrates that inclusive, multigenerational kitchens can be every bit as stylish and functional as standard kitchens. And Adam's design input to the Freedom by Symphony range means these fabulous accessible kitchens are now available from Symphony kitchen studios nationwide!
