Designing with these principles in mind will ensure that your home remains accessible and comfortable as you age, prolonging your time and ability to live independently, as well as benefit you today. In this post, we'll explore what aging in place means, how planning these elements from the beginning can save you time and money, and key considerations we study on each historic renovation or custom new build project we work on here in Dallas.

When investing your hard-earned dollars into designing a new home or tackling a renovation project it’s important to plan not only for your lifestyle now but also how you envision your lifestyle in the future. Depending on how long our clients plan to stay in their homes, we make sure to tailor our design solutions to their vision for their homes over the years - whether that be by designing using aging-in-place principles for forever homes or keeping return on investment in mind when suggesting material and finishes for our clients who plan on selling one day.
