The ageing population of the world has seen an upward trend over the last two decades along with tendency of independent living by the elderly. Currently efforts are being made to create comfortable and safer housing environment for the elderly. However the kitchen still remains as the most neglected area in terms of redesign. This project tries to focus on the kitchen as the independent living facility in order to make cooking easier and safer focusing more on the women elderly population. The project started with primary and secondary study, leading to multiple insights in areas of mobility, posture, while using tools and consideration for user reach. These insights were then used to derive features and to come up with designs specifically for the food preparation area. The final design was developed after creating a test rig to check required heights for different activities.
