Cairns four-bedroom home

List of features

A clear, uncluttered floor space reduces the likelihood of trips or falls in the kitchen.
Windows and fittings are positioned so that people can easily supervise inside and outside play areas while working in the kitchen.
Drawers are located away from the stove, making it less likely for children to climb the drawers and burn themselves.
A child-resistant cupboard provides for secure storage of household cleaning agents and poisons.
The kitchen does not double as a passageway to other parts of the home, reducing the likelihood of accidents involving people carrying hot food or boiling water.
