At the heart of Urban Mistrii’s philosophy is the belief that homes should evolve with the family. Designing for aging parents isn’t just about accessibility; it’s about inclusion, dignity, and emotional well-being. Rakhiani’s approach ensures that senior members feel both independent and deeply integrated into the rhythm of the household.
The studio prioritizes floor plans that bring generations closer. Elderly suites are placed near family activity zones like the living or dining room, allowing natural participation in daily life without compromising privacy. Ground-floor bedrooms with attached bathrooms and no-threshold layouts prepare homes for future mobility needs, complemented by anti-skid flooring, gentle ramps, and unobstructed circulation paths.
Beyond safety, Rakhiani emphasizes design for dignity. Instead of hospital-like fixtures, Urban Mistrii incorporates warm wooden grab bars, custom niches, foldable shower seating, and soft, sensor-driven lighting. Beds, switches, and electrical points are ergonomically designed to offer ease and comfort while blending seamlessly with the interior aesthetic.
Light and nature play a pivotal role in her vision. Large, operable windows, garden-facing views, and layered indoor lighting create uplifting, calm environments that nurture mental and physical well-being. Shared spaces like central courtyards, semi-open dining areas, and cozy family lounges become the heart of interaction, while intimate retreats like bay windows, verandah swings, and prayer alcoves that offer elders a sanctuary for solitude.
Urban Mistrii’s designs celebrate relationships as much as architecture. Every detail is crafted to ensure seniors feel seen, supported, and included, proving that a well-designed home is not just about walls and rooms but about bringing generations closer together.
