IMO too many appliances for a small kitchen like that and not much working counter space surrounding your stove, if you doing a lot of cooking it can get a bit tight on counter space.

Is there a reason to use the cooktop rather than a range with an oven below? That will provide more counter space. Also I would use a pull out drawer microwave.

This Samsung slide in range has a duo oven and knobs in the front if that is convenient for you

Yes, the reason I thought a separate cooktop and oven would be the way to go is because a cooktop (or rangetop) can sit lower than a traditional range can giving better access to the cooking surface from a wheelchair. Have you come across ranges that are lower than 36"?

I feel like I'm in a battle between counter space and cabinet space.

@R.G. Miller Inc., You're right, the wheelchair can get to the cooktop and then back up or even turn around to get to the sink and fridge.

We want the kitchen to be practical for a wheelchair user (this design will be) but also for standing people too and then not too awkward as to require modifications for resale.

I think if I was in a wheelchair this would work well for me. I like the ideal of the lowered cooktop where you could wheel somewhat under the cooktop to access the burners.

There are cabinet accessories that have buttons that can be put on lower cabinets that will open a wall cabinet for you. I like the fact of a wall oven, then a person in a wheelchair is capable of accessing the oven, just make sure the height is agreeable.

Motte21,, Looks like a restricted space and seeing that there is a wheelchair in the mix why don't you use wall cupboards for the base units it will give you more width and the height would be better for wheelchair use, plus the cupboards would not be too deep to loose things at the back that you can't reach, and cut the worktops so that you have a good overhang but still allows you to reach inside the cupboard, for cupboards above the worktop there are models which the internals pull down with a stick so very accessible for you, plus the whole lot would be much cheaper, and of course unique

Hello, I just finished my ADA kitchen. I don't think it makes me an expert but I do have some insight. Your first issue as I see it is turning radius. It's tight, but doable. I have piles of information I would love to share with you on this subject. If you are interested please let me know.

Thanks GTB! I'm interested! We don't need the kitchen to be ADA accessible but I'm interested in what you came up with and how it looks. I still want it to look like and be a normal functioning kitchen because I don't want to have to make major changes if/when I sell and I want it to be functional for standing folks in addition to those sitting. (Ha! is this asking too much from one kitchen?)

No it's not. I have an integrated kitchen, meaning my Mother and I can both use it . She stands I sit. I will link you to my ADA kitchen idea book it has a lot of info. I have been adding to it daily. I'm also finishing one of my own kitchen which I will open soon.
