Designing for Life: Aging in Place with ARIS Design Group

At ARIS Design Group, we design homes to be more than beautiful — they’re built to last a lifetime. One of the most meaningful approaches we use is Aging in Place: creating spaces that let homeowners live safely, comfortably, and independently at home as they grow older.

What Aging in Place Means

Aging in Place is about planning for the future now. It means anticipating changes in mobility, vision, and lifestyle, and designing homes that remain functional without feeling clinical or “retrofit.” Done well, it’s thoughtful design that blends seamlessly into the architecture.

Why It Matters

Comfort & independence – Stay in a familiar, loved home longer.
Cost savings – Avoid expensive remodels or assisted living moves later.
Added value – Homes with universal design appeal to more buyers.

Core Design Features

Step-free living: No-step entries, wider hallways, and curbless showers.
Safe bathrooms: Built-in shower benches, slip-resistant floors, comfort-height toilets, and space for future grab bars.
Accessible kitchens: Pull-out storage, easy-to-reach appliances, and mixed counter heights.
Smart technology: Motion lighting, voice-controlled systems, and automated features for safety and convenience.
Future-ready planning: Structural backing for grab bars, adaptable rooms, and layouts that allow a main-floor master suite.

Our Approach

From the first design conversation, we plan with both today and tomorrow in mind. We prioritize open layouts, safe circulation, and flexible spaces — while making sure every feature looks intentional and beautifully integrated. The result is a home that feels timeless, not temporary.

Building Homes for Every Stage of Life

Aging in Place is about more than accessibility — it’s about peace of mind and long-term comfort. At ARIS Design Group, we help families create “forever homes” designed to support every season of life with safety, style, and confidence.
