Oven in modified kitchen

The oven door, which opens downwards, protects the user if she should drop something hot when removing food from the oven.

Description
The door opens downwards. The oven is installed in a tall cabinet. The height is modified to allow the user’s knees to come exactly under the open door. Hot food can be placed on the adjacent counter or the table across from the oven.
